The past week has been ridiculously busy at the Albuquerque Weather Service. A series of upper level storms has repeatedly dumped snow over much of the northwestern half of the state, and a suite of watches, advisories, and warnings have kept things very interesting to say the least. Many of the northern New Mexico ski resorts received between 2 and 3 feet of new snow over the past 7 to 9 days. As is usually the case, Albuquerque received a couple of episodes of 2 to 3 inches of snow with all of it melting within the next 24 hours or so. I trotted out into it Monday night when we received about 3 inches and snapped the following pics.

This last photo below was zoomed out during a long exposure.  The indoor scene of our living room is still faintly identifiable.  I’ll have to try and use this technique again with a tripod and a different stationary subject.
