Cache Valley Winter

It was perfect weather here yesterday...well...perfectly beautiful. The snow-covered Wellsville Mountains shined against the clear blue sky, with remnants of the earlier ice fog leaving mist at the base of the mountains and covering every wire, twig and leaf with a thick layer of hoar frost.





These are the same mountains from a greater distance...our back porch actually. I like the way the early morning light shows every gulley.

It was interesting to watch the thermometer in the car as I drove along. At our house, it was 1F. On the valley floor it was -1F. A mile or so up the canyon it was 7F. Mid-Canyon, at Dry Lake, it was -1 again and a few miles later it was 12F. At the other side of the canyon it was 18F.
