What a Smoky Evening it was last night!!

Tweeted last night with tag #nmsmoke

   At this moment (about 6am)... it is still, cool and clear here in the Silver City. Just 52 degrees...  
      Fires making it very smoky here in South West New Mexico. Slide-Show is of tweeted pictures from last night with the tag #nmsmoke. The smoke was much worse in Lordsburg than it was in Silver City. Hopefully the winds will shift and take the smoke elsewhere of better case would be that fires would be out altogether....Richard
