We get guests from all over the country and at this time of the year many folks are wishing they could be here in the desert of Palm Springs. Check out this wintery mess from an email I got from a guest:
"Have you heard about the weather around here? Jeez. It's been terrible since we've been back! The Friday before last it started raining - pouring. (In February in Iowa!). It thundered a lot, rained, and rained, and rained. Of course, it was raining because for awhile it was above 32. However, that didn't last, so then there were slushballs falling from the sky, sleet, etc. Then it rapidly froze. There was about an inch of ice on everything. Twigs and limbs were snapping, some ice was falling off in chunks and landing on the roof all nights. Big limbs were hanging down, almost touching the ground. Power poles snapped off like matchsticks and thousands were without power. Fortunately we did not lose power. This lasted through the night on Saturday. This was supposed to be followed by a huge blizzard on Sunday, but when we woke up, everything was starting to melt. Some people were without power for over a week. And then this last weekend, there was more sleet and snow and very high winds. We didn't get the blizzard that the western part of the state got, about a foot of snow, but we got about six inches and it was blowing all over the place. Many, many roads were closed - and the two major interstates that cross the state were closed. It's been wild! Needless to say, the state is full of people who are losing their minds because they're READY FOR SPRING!That is probably more than you care to know, but I thought you both might like to know what you're missing..."
Judy and I lived in cold country for 17 years. Needless to say, WE LOVE THE DESERT!
