First snow of the Year

Today we woke up with a soft snow that lasted until 4:00 pm in the Wasatch Front. Having moved here from a state where snow rarely fell it amazes me watching snow fall in Utah.

Did you know that snow is frozen water that falls from the sky? In Utah we normally receive very soft, fluffy snow which must sound weird when you think of frozen water falling. And snow flakes have 6 sides but are never the same. The flakes in Utah are usually quite big about the size of a quarter.

If you enjoy snow, mountains, and a chill air you will love coming to Utah.

Tis the season for:
skiing
cross-country skiing
snowboarding
Snowshoes
Sledding
Snow ball fights

For those that have a chance to visit Utah I hope you enjoy the chance to watch the snow fall!
