Local family blame Thursday night's snow on me. I've been wishing for snow ever since I arrived in Utah for Roots Tech on March 4th. We had a bit of snow on Thursday evening thru Friday morning of the conference. I included a couple of pics in my Five Things Friday post on March 7.
However, the best snow came in the early evening on Thursday, March 13th. It wasn't supposed to start until later. It just goes to show that we can't always predict Mother Nature. I like to think it arrived early for me. Here is son's backyard while we were eating dinner.
We headed out for The Great Gatsby book club meeting right after dinner. This is what greeted us a short while later when book club was over.
By the time that I walked over to son's house at 11:51, the bluebird skies were replaced by overcast skies.
I enjoy watching the skies and capturing the changing colors of a day.
* A "bluebird day" refers to a day with a clear, cloudless sky and bright sunshine, often after a storm, and is a term commonly used by skiers and snowboarders to describe ideal winter sports conditions.
That is a new term for me. We have had them, but I didn’t know they had a name. arjeha

ReplyDeleteBluebird days… a beautiful way to describe that kind of day. I love the beauty of snow when I can just look out at it or play with little ones in the yard…
But I don’t like shoveling (I have a friend who lives it!) and I definitely do not like it if I have to drive in it.
Interesting! I lived in Utah for two years and never heard that term. Where I grew up in snow free Southern California, we always called them "Chamber of Commerce" days.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and I absolutely love that expression a bluebird day. We don't have bluebirds over here, but I can still imagine the purity of their colour. How quickly the weather can change!
ReplyDeleteThat's a new phrase for me too! I love snow, so I would have been wishing right along with you. That blue sky is truly gorgeous.
ReplyDelete"Bluebird day" sounds beautiful.
