What March feels like

The wind is the whole story in March — it blows for days at a stretch, kicks dust across I-25, and sends tumbleweeds through parking lots. Between blows the days are gorgeous, and the cottonwoods down in the bosque start to bud.

Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 8 nights dip below freezing.
