It's been foggy in Utah the past few days. Magical mist filling the air... Yeah, I know some of you experience fog on a regular basis and it's nothing special, but here in Utah? We don't get much. I think I can count on one hand the other times we've had fog that wasn't just inversion ickiness, and I do love the ethereal look of buildings shrouded in earth-skimming clouds of mist.
Anyway, it's fun that there's fog outside, but there's also fog in my brain. Dense fog. Like...you should probably get out a spotlight and tread carefully if you want to wander in to take a peek, possibly give yourself a lead line and wear a helmet...there's rocky marbles in there, after all. Not all of the marbles, just the ones that're left after I sent some of them to the cleaners last week.
So, I'm conducting an experiment of sorts. When the fog lets up outside, will my brain clear up too? Will I even notice if the fog clears up if my brain fog is still here? We'll just have to wait and see...
Anyway...fog! I like it. The three feet of snow we had piled up outside is now down to bare grass in patches but otherwise it's still about a foot thick, and the parking lot is still icy. Why go ice skating when you can just walk to your car? Winter has its perks, after all. Snuggling under fuzzy blankets, seeing your breath outside (so you can have mini fog!), hearty warm food... what's your favorite part of winter? Is there something you wish happened more or less in your climate?
Comments
scatha_guardian: I'd imagine having frequent fog would make it much less mystical. We have the same issue with drivers in the first snowfall of the year...it's like half the residents of Utah become InstantIdiots and forget that you can't just speed around like normal with that white stuff all around...sigh. Baking during the winter's awesome. ^_^ What do you enjoy making this time of year?
r3173mpt10n: Oh, I'll trade you!
ST'Q: Wow, I wouldn't have ever guessed that fog isn't common in Seattle! That seems odd to me...anyway, I'm glad someone else enjoys a nice foggy day. ^_^ What kind of beers are available that aren't regularly?
JusticePants: Wandering through the woods in the fog sounds amazing. I want to put that on my bucket list... I'll trade you some snow for...well, maybe some woods to walk in? And some more fog? I don't know what snowcream is, but it sounds dangerous and delicious.
Onii-chan-sama-head: Walking down the road in the fog sounds delicious, too...maybe that'll happen on the way to or from the woods? Again, I'll trade you some cold and snow for some fog. ^_^
Miss LostInWonderland: Now I have to go hunt for that picture, because I vaguely remember it and I do remember that I liked it. Soup is extra tasty in cold weather, isn't it? Tonight we had taco soup and cornbread. :L I love taco soup... And you can have some of my snow, too. I'm so generous with this white stuff we seem to have coming out of our ears...
ST'Q: All those specialty ales have great names, but what makes them special? Do they add cinnamon or something?
Amber: Wow, that's a lot of fluctuation in the temperature. I don't know if I could handle it...I want spring too! Let's start a petition!
LightsOn: Aaaah, Starbucks! You ARE addicted, aren't you!? Well, sounds like I got a sweet deal, anyway...gimme your address, I'll send some snow to you. I want some woods.
could: ...that's a lot of snow. Do you like playing in it, like sledding 'n such?
could: Oh, you can always try to help it, though...
peace: Hey! Thanks for the comment. So you miss winter, do you? ^_^ I'll trade you a week. You can stay here at our condo and my hubby and I will take your place. Deal?
