The Winter Doldrums!


I love living in Utah, however, January has got to be the worst month here. Why you might ask, well it is because of the inversions. A Utah inversion is when cold air gets stuck in the valley along with all of the pollution. It takes a good snow storm to get rid of the yucky air. We have not had one of those since Christmas. So what we are left with is about 1 mile of visibility all day long. Utah County has been ranked #1 for the worst air quality in the US for the past week. You got to love it baby!

Another reason why I do not like January is because everywhere you go people are sick. I cringe sitting at church listening to everyone cough because I know it is only a matter of time before my children get it. Sure enough, this week I have had Drew and Porter to the doctors for strep throat and a sinus infection. AHHH!

Am I the only one that feels this way?
