The expected high for the week is 13° F

Spoiler for wtf am i getting myself into:

You'll hate it. I never left the cold and I still hate it every damn year.

Idk in a way it was kind of cool to have to go out and chop firewood first thing in the morning every weekend. Like when the air is so icy you can't fully inhale. Listening to the radio to see if school's cancelled because it's -30° and that's the limit apparently. Idk I'll update this post in a week and see how much it lives up to the nostalgia.

You've never been back in the winter? Have you been back at all actually?

That sounds very romantic to me, but that's just because I'm used to the boring Dutch climate and I can't even imagine severe cold. I think it has been colder than - 5 degrees Celsius only a few times in my life, maybe even once, and it was mass hysteria

Well I walk everywhere so it gets old.

And driving in Utah isn't exactly safe even with out icy roads.

Plus, Utah weather sucks so I'll leave for work and it's 80 F and I'll have to go home in the snow because I didn't bring a jacket because it was ****ing 80 degrees at 8 in the morning.

Oh yeah, I go back every year or two, I just usually go in the late Summer. Which is really just Pre-Early Winter. There is always snow in the mountains but that's to be expected. Full-on Winter is a different story! I will post pics, it really is a Winter Wonderland.

I remember friends riding their horses or driving snowmobiles into school because the roads were all snowed in. Could you obtain a horse?

No...

Winters here honestly haven't been nearly as bad as they used to be. I still hate snow though.

First post of 2019 just in time for New Years.

Hope you're all doing well, 2019 was one hell of an adventure for me. Spent most of the year on the road exploring, 8 US states and 5 Canadian provinces, good times across the board. Haven't done much foruming this year but I may be around for a few days before disappearing again. Realized today that I'm not even capable of putting together a top 5 favorite albums of the year list let alone 10, going to try and correct that before the year turns over.
