The inversion (mixture of fog & smog) has been particularly long-lasting this winter. We have not had many storms blow through in the past month so the cold air gets trapped below the smog. You can see the line of junk following the freeway, spilling over the point of the mountain into Salt Lake County. When we do get a storm, it clears up the air and makes life easier. Ammon has trouble with his trachea when he has to be outside in the junk and Kaitlin finds it's more difficult to sing and breathe for her as well.
While this is a beastly problem and we hate it, it has a couple of little perks. It softens the world and the edges of everything and creates beautiful colors. The river bottoms south of Spanish Fork look peaceful and soft.
The sunsets are spectacular. The two pictures below are of the same sunset moving around the sky and here are two views - first one looks like cotton candy.
This one doesn't look soft - just spectacular.
We will be glad to get some wind to stir things up a bit in the next week.

Indeed, it will be nice to clear out the air for a few days. The snow will be good. We are doing a winter camp Feb. 5-6 and I hope we have some decent snow cover. We want to go snowshoeing on the campout but it's kinda lame out there right now. Not a whole lot of snow -- valleys or mountains. -Jess
