winter's here

It started snowing last night, the temperature falling swiftly from 60 on the commute home to cold enough that the snow was sticking on the lawn by the time we went to bed.  And Saturday morning?  Still snowing - not a ton here in the valley but socked in enough that you couldn't see the Wasatches at all.  So we spent the morning cleaning the house, doing laundry, putting things away, until the sun came out right around noon.  B and I went for a walk in Dimple Dell, where there were a few other folks out enjoying the new snow (cross-country skiers, dog-walkers, runners).  I hadn't been anxiously awaiting the start of winter but it was really nice to be out there, tromping around in the snow, dressed in the right layers and the air cold on my face.

Snow over my boots - it's a start!
