Feb. 22, 2023: Wind Whipped Yuma, Arizona

A monster storm is marching across the US from coast to coast.  People across the country are or will be experiencing strong winds, snow, blizzard conditions, and in some places icy precipitation.

Here's a screenshot from the CNN Storm Tracker

Clouds cover most of the west coast.  Yuma, Arizona is just east of the California border.

Eric and I drove 13 miles west this morning.  The temperature was 57 degrees and winds were blowing steadily at 20-plus miles per hour.  

Hints of whipping winds in Eastern Arizona.





Sand blows across 












Our drive west gets windier and dustier.





Sand obscures piles of old
Orange Trees on East 32nd





It's hard to read this sign.

Recycle Cans, Batteries,
Copper






The darker color, in the
middle of this picture
is a large Hay Field.






There is no rain, snow, sleet, or freezing rain.  In Yuma, Arizona this week's Monster Storm is redistributing the sand across the city.

And, today is National Margarita Day!  Salud!
