First snowman of the season!

The Blizzard of 2010, last week, was a huge let down in terms of quality sculpting snow.  There was so much hype the Tuesday before Thanksgiving regarding "the blizzard that wasn't" that I even received an email warning from the local tv station:

Suffice-to-say, only a couple of inches fell in the valley and the blizzard became a bit of an in-joke in Salt Lake.  Our friend, Bryan Rowe, posted this picture of a t-shirt on facebook.

Thankfully that changed on Sunday when we got a nice fresh dumping of snow.  Sunday is the perfect day for a snowstorm, don't you think?
