I want you to all know that I take back all the “I LOVE UTAH!” and “We just LOVE living here!” crap.  I like lots of things about Utah.  The inversion, where it gets super cold in the valley and the air down here is super dirty while it’s warm and sunny and healthy and beautiful in Park City?  I do not love the inversion.   I do not like it, either.  It is lousy.
Also, the cold.  It is 8:01 am.  It is 7 degrees, which is 4 degrees warmer than when I checked about an hour ago and it was 3.  THREE.  I just do not appreciate cold to this degree.  Last year, it was a novelty.  This year, I am a bit cranky about it.

Have a WARM and HAPPY DAY.  Especially if you live somewhere with warm temps (anything 50 or over) and clear skies.  Will shutting my eyes and wishing really hard magically transport me to you?

    We’ll send you our 45 mph, soon to be 65-75 mph wind gusts. Maybe that’ll blow the junk out of your air! (and move them away from here!) I can also mail you some oranges from our tree! : )

    I *SO*SO*SO* feel for you. I’ve been doing some “spring-please-come-soon-cleaning” in hopes that the warm temps will arrive before April/May. I’m not holding my breath, but it’s worth a shot! Hang in there!

    You can come to SF to take care of me. Although, I can’t guarantee that I won’t give you a cough or pink eye. But, it is really warm here and the Farmer’s Market tomorrow might be worth the trip.

    I feel for ya. That’s why I refuse to live anywhere north of St. George. I hate being cold. Right now it’s about 65 degrees, clear skies…sorry.

    Eeew. Cold is not fun and snow loses its appeal quickly. Not even AW who is continually nostalgic for Utah wants to go back because the weather here is perfect. But at least you are not walking to across campus right now racing to class and do have a garage!

    It’s not so bad…is it. I’ve only ever lived it Utah. It doesn’t bother me much. Hang in there, it will warm up soon.

    It is -5 below zero right now at 4:45 p.m.. Early this afternoon it was -12 below zero!!!!!!!!!!! Did you get the minus zero temps today? It is SOOOO cold. I went outside to fill up the bird feeder and my nose looked like someone had punched it because it was SO red. It really needs to warm up :o )
