WOW!  The warmest morning in Northern Utah in over 3 weeks, 23 degrees and when you look outside it is raining!  RAINING!  When I went to get the paper I almost fell on my butt!  When that rain hits the ground, the tree, the anything..it freezes right now, not here in a minute, I’m talking RIGHT NOW!

I’ve seen this happen back East, but never out here.

The weather know it all guys say that the air above this inversion is very warm and as the snow falls from the clouds high above us, it enters this warmer air and turns to rain.  The rain then falls into our inversion “cold” and when it hits the super cold “everything” inside the inversion it freezes when it hits it.

I have not ventured out on the road and hope I don’t have to anytime soon, but I’ll tell you, if there aren’t a ton of accidents today I’ll KYA.  Like a good neighbor, they will be busy today for sure!

Stay in, enjoy a hot cup of joe, make up a pot of stew and stay warm.  Today is not a day that work needs you worse than you need to stay home!
