Pretty much in the middle of winter. The earth almost looks like paprika. It’s pretty much like beach sand. I saw pictures of this sandstorm. Was it in your local????

That’ll show you how widely scattered our rain can be...

2 miles west of Sandy, we’re getting a very nice rainfall. It’s not torrential, but it’s more than just gentle.

On the down side, the area south of us that burned, Miller Canyon specifically, got drenched this evening. That sets the stage for more flooding of homes at the mouth of the canyon.
