Sandia Internship
Just for grins, and to get out of the house, it occurred to me to drive to the top of the Sandia Crest once again. And, once there, I couldn’t NOT walk around. I brought a camera and coat and gloves, but no snowshoes, which turned out to be a bit of an impediment. Plus, it was way colder than I expected, so it was a short walk.
 
Stairs at the beginning
Look at the depth of the snow
 
 
 
That guardrail should come up past your waist
 
 
Odd crystalline patterns
More crystals
 
The size of the snowflakes
 
 
 
Snow stuck to the bottom of a tree in weird shapes
 
 
 
One step off the path, and...
Non-uniform crystals
Melt around the rock
 
even more crystals
 
Yay weird snow!
