Today was Cache Valley's first CLEAR, CLEAN and SUNNY day in, like, 80 years. It was beautiful. At work we kept walking to the windows and doors just to look outside. It was like in August when it rains and all of us Utahns stare at it like Floridians staring at snow.
So, the clean air. It's always a trade-off for us in the winter. Clean air = snow. Dirty air = no snow. But, if you think about it, snow requires warmer weather than, say, 5 degrees Fahrenheit. In January, if it's warm enough for daytime snow, it's warm enough for me. Today, we had a little overnight/morning storm, and then the sun came out. I was so excited I wanted to flirt with it.
**Helllooooo sun. ;) Wink. Wink.**
Just to screw up with our "green day" (oops), I drove around for 20 minutes at lunchtime basking in the sun. The sky — it was blue! And the mountains — they were there! I even unrolled my window because I could actually take a DEEP breath for the first time in weeks. So, because the sky will be gray and the mountains will be hidden soon — probably tomorrow — I took photos. Ignore the horrible photography and realize I'm just documenting this wonderful January weather day. Just as proof.

Don't feel bad driving around to enjoy the beautiful day. If your driving caused the inversion we'd have them in the summer too.
It was a blessed event, wasn't it? To see the sky, to see the mountains, to breathe freely... *sigh*
The mountains were gorgeous yesterday. I went to Lee's on my lunch break and while in the parking lot I kept looking back and forth from the Wellsvilles to the Logan Canyon mountains (what is their correct name?). Such a pretty day. I should have taken pictures like you.
The weather can so affect moods, too. I would have gone for a drive as well. Luckily, we've had nearly NO snow this year. It's been odd, even. Usually we just get dumped on here in Washington. So nice to feel the sun in January - great feeling!
