Outside the doctors office today
SNOW, started coming yesterday afternoon and into the night. We stayed in and did not go out until today as we needed to go for a coumadin check (blood) at the doctors office in Carlsbad, NM. Stepping out into the snow a couple of inches deep. Everything was covered.


Our local roads were covered with tracks from vehicles already having been down the road. The highway (US 285) down to Carlsbad was in better shape, sanded with some salt, no plowing of snow. There were a few places where vehicles had been off road. A pickup truck was being picked up by a rollback wrecker truck. We just planned more travel time and went slower all the way to Carlsbad. The doctors office had a late opening so we were there in plenty of time, actually early as we waited in the car for forty-five minutes. My number was the same as last week and I will increase the coumadin and re check in a week. The road home seemed a little wet with no snow or ice but there was wheel spray from vehicles passing us.
