Wacky Utah Weather
January in Utah is always a bad weather bet. We usually get some really nasty inversion in the Salt Lake Valley, and up and down the Wasatch Front in general. It's really weird to think that Park City, which is up in the mountains, can be warmer than Salt Lake in the middle of the day, but it happens a lot in January.
The last week, we had some huge snow storms come through that took out the inversion -- for now. It will be back, most likely by this weekend. But for now, it's easy to breathe, and I can see all of the mountains on all four sides of the valley. It's a beautiful thing.
Now that it's warming up, it's fun and a little scary to watch the snow melt and fall off the roof. This is how the house looked this morning as I drove to work.
Some serious slippage going there. But look at how beautiful the sky was at 7:15 am. Makes me happy to be able to breathe.
And just because I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and wishing this is what our weather was like right now, here's a panoramic shot from our trip to California in October.
I miss the beach and the ocean. A lot.

Back from vacation and a slew of teaser photos
Mr. Perfect and Most Happy Girl spent the last eight days (from Sunday to Sunday) enjoying the fun and warmth of Southern California. We visited with family, spent two days with the Mouse, traveled Pacific Coast Highway 1 (affectionately known as PCH 1) from Monterey to San Diego, played on the beach at Newport, and managed to put over 1500 miles on a really fun rental car (gotta love free upgrades because they've run out of the cheapie one your reserved).
Here are some pictures, just to wet your whistle:
