San Miguel's Dry Season
When we first came here 4 years ago this week for an exploratory month in Mexico, it was hot, sunny and clear every single day. By the time we returned home to South Carolina, I was absolutely desperate to see a cloud again. Since we moved here, that's been our typical San Miguel February. The past several weeks, however, our weather has been nearly as weird and extreme as it's been in the States. First we experienced freezing temperatures and a dusting of snow on the nearby hillsides, something that hadn't happened here since the early 1970's. Then this past week, we were drenched with four solid days of steady rains, causing normally dry arroyos to become churning torrents as they raced through town, causing numerous road closings and evacuations. Another solid week of rain is forecast to begin later this week. Dry season, my ass!
