Terrance Alert Level

It's spring in NM and that means one thing:  you can't tell one day's weather from the next.  We've been up to 81 last Tuesday, yet tomorrow's high will only be 46.  Sunny one minute, cloudy the next.  Every time we go up to White Rock to work on the folks' house, it seems to snow.  Don't get me started about the wind today....

Right now it's 3:30 a.m. and the wireless remote thermometer at the mouth of Terrance's burrow reads 43.  Looks like he knows better than us what the weather forecast will be like.  Last year he didn't break hibernation until 3 May.

Of course, in years previous he's been out in early to mid-April.  We'll just have to see what transpires this year.

For now, I've devised a Terrance Alert Level and color coded it.  Today's Terrance Alert Level is Green--Terrance sighting is unlikely.
