Thanks, Zen:

We just had our first real snowfall.

It's beautiful, but your picture is much more so.

I sail out of Utah lake and the Great Salt Lake. Actually the GSL is still fluid, but we get "icebergs" big chunks of ice that break off the rivers that come in and float around during the winter. I thought it was funny at first, but these chunks can get the size of houses and they really can do damage to our boats in slip. So I take out my boat during the winter.
Record cold here today- 3 degrees F.
