While the country east of the Continental Divide is under the grips of bitter cold, blizzard snow & crippling ice, Northern Utah is experiencing one of its 300+ days of unbelievable sunshine! Absolutely Gorgeous! Looking out the window, one’s breath is almost taken away by the stunning view.

Yet, as I step outside on the balcony to take unobstructed pictures,
my first breath is immediately caught in my throat and I begin coughing.

This is the deception!
While the sunshine and the mountains are shining in their glory,
it is bitterly cold, -12 F!
BRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
Very few birds have come to the feeders this morning. Just a handful of Black-Capped Chickadees, American Goldfinches, and Juncos are braving this frigid air.
Stay Warm and Cozy, My Mountain Green! I think it is time for a hot toddy!

Roy, come on over for that toddy anytime.
Toddy? what's a toddy? Is it a bird? :-) (Hee! hee!)
Gorgeous!
I have always held a soft spot in my heart for Utah! How lucky you are to call it home :)
