Here’s some images captured once the fog lifted in the Grand Canyon after a snowy day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snowy Grand Canyon

That huge California storm is making it’s way through Arizona now. You’ll notice that because of temperatures at the Grand Canyon, the snow level dips about 1,000 feet into the canyon. Below that, it rained. Nonetheless, there was plenty of snow at  the South and North Rims and it’s still snowing with road closures.

Nearby Flagstaff is receiving a foot or two and hopefully I can get out of here soon. As I’m developing this post, it’s snowing hard with no visibilty into the canyon. But it’s not a bad place to be stranded!

Watch at HiDef at Full Screen.  Companion post of still images to follow soon.

The Utah Weather Could Of Been Nicer

Snow and rain greeted me when I got back to Utah, but it’s suppose to be in low 60s this week!

There Is A Snow God!

It snowed at Zion National Park the other day but mostly in the upper elevations. I commented to a friend that I wished it snowed at a lower elevation, that would be awesome. The weather forecast for the next day didn’t mention any precipitation but overnight it snowed 3 inches which produced some winter wonderland images. The snow gods listened!

Even more snow on day two.

Brrrr….. Cold & Snow Arrive to Zion Country

It was 9 degrees Fahrenheit the other morning at my home here and minus 3 on the east side of Zion National Park. But the snow that fell made for some pretty images.
