Snow.....at last!!

Got snow today!! Finally after a few weeks of the inversion we got a storm with some rain and snow today. Will look to see some clean air this week and maybe even train outside some. I will be heading to the mountains to get some skiing and education in this week, at a conference for work.

Ah, the Inversion season is here.

Well, it was another crappy day here in Salt lake. This inversion has really gotten socked in. Went to the gym today and it was very thick. Very sunny in the high country, but down here was ugly. Nothing like Beijing gladly!! last week in Beijing the PM 2.5 was 900mcg/cubic meter!!! This compared to to a high here of 100mcg/cubic meter. Still VERY bad, but not an immediate death like China.

Clear days

Snow, snow, snow

Grill looks cold and lonely!!

Pre-snow inversion. BAD air!!

Well- week 2 of the New Year and another GOOD storm. We received 18inches at our house over the last 2-3 days. A good couple day total. May get an additional 2-8" between now and Sunday night as well. Nice fluffy Utah powder. Very cold however!! Ski days tomorrow!!

Happy New Year!! 2013

Well, we made it one more. Actually saw midnight this year....barely! After dinner at our friends Leanne and Jordan's house, and what seemed like an eternity of the game Cranium, we headed home and arrived, 20 seconds before midnight. Good timing.

Here's to a great 2013 and some pics of recent trip to Death Valley, N.P in California. This is an amazingly diverse place, which is great at Christmas time.
