Well, we’ve made it to February. Thus far, 2021 hasn’t shown itself to be a significant improvement over 2020. I’m also neck deep in prepping the ranch books to send to the accountant for taxes. So, maybe that clouds my judgment a bit on the quality of the year so far…
We also have another foggy morning. We had a bunch of those in January too. The old weather tale is that 90 days after fog, you will get precipitation. Between the January fog and today’s, we should be deluged with either blizzards (early April) or rain. Most current signs point to drought this summer, so it will be interesting to see which way this goes.
