DUST IN THE WIND

The weather on Wednesday afternoon (4/10) into Thursday (4/11) across Minnesota was terrible.  There was some dust in the wind that brought this lovely weather our way.

My normal community route, Hwy 52 North this a.m.  Glad I stayed home

While out snow-blowing, shoveling this a.m.; when I was out for a short drive this afternoon as well, I noticed that the snow and sleet had a different hue to it.  This is why.  Dust updraft from West TX and Southeast New Mexico made its way into the snow/sleet that fell overnight here in the upper Midwest.   Now that is some dust in the wind!

You can plainly see the difference in hue of the dust in these images taken this afternoon.
