The following day we visited my mom; my brother and his wife were out there also.
The weather was also good that day, which is good since my mom lives an hour away from Salt Lake. We have to swing around the Great Salt Lake to and from, so I got a couple of photos on the way back.
Picture 1: the Oquirrh Mountains (Salt Lake is on the other side of them)
Picture2: another view of the Oquirrh Mountains, reflected in a bit of the lake
Today's weather was a whole different story. Got over a foot last night, and the streets were nasty when I went to physical therapy.
Picture 1: Looking west from my driveway (those mountains in the back are the Oquirrh Mountains seen from this side)
Picture 2: my front yard
Picture 3: getting to my vehicle. The snow was actually high enough to block the door; I had to brush snow away to open it.

Everyone's excited about Wikileak; personally I think it might be a good thing to air out some dirty laundry and stir the pot.

The late Jeff Healey (you may remember him from the movie Roadhouse); cancer took his sight at eight months old, and ended his life when he was only 42. Great blues guitarist.

Nice pictures.
I wuv snow. I also love the fact that I now have a four-wheel drive vehicle with seat warmers. =D
Im glad the weather was good for your Thanksgiving Holiday, and that your diabetes stayed under control.
I can't believe you woke up to a foot of snow like that! WOWZAH.
Oh, and I love ANY song by The Rolling Stones!!
Hard to know what's snow and what's salt.
Minimedic: I like snow better on post cards ;) My wife and I both drive 4-wheel drives, it's easier that way in winter.
Meleah: I couldn't believe it either, until I had to slog through it.
James: no salt in any pictures, it's all snow.
Those mountains are absolutely breathtaking. Beautiful!
Glad you had a good holiday with the family.
The Sultans of Swing are indellibly etched with a mental time-stamp and signature...
All we get at this altitude is cold.
Beautiful shots of the mountains; what's best about them is the complete clarity of the air. There's mountains all around Kabul, but you can see only a hazy outline of them most of the time due to all the air pollution. Every time I see photos of the States like yours may appreciation of home is increased. I'd pay money to be able to breathe the air where you shot those photos:)
