Snow and Ice

This January was the 5th coldest January in Utah on record since something like 1870 something. There were 20 days or so where the highest temperature was 19 degrees or less. Plus the air quality was terrible. It was yucky. But some mornings it would be really foggy and when the fog moved on it left behind beautiful ice crystals on everything. I tried to get some neat pictures but I'm still figuring out how to do that with this camera.


Also, since we had TONS of snow, we got a little sledding in out in our backyard. A very little sledding.


So we went up to Midway one day when the air quality down in the valley was especially bad and the temperatures were especially cold. Up in Midway on the mountainside it was beautiful and sunny and warm enough to sled without gloves, hat, or even coat. I think Grammy and Joshua were out there for  more than 2 hours!!

And I shoveled A LOT of snow. I wish this was a better picture and gave a better idea of how high it was. I think this was the peak of our snow for this year (I hope at least). The pile by the mailbox is taller than the mailbox.
