We've been threatened for about 3 days now with nothing more than a trace actually hitting the ground, but overnight we've had about an inch and it seems to be coming down with a purpose as I write. It's a good thing because this part of Utah is way behind in winter precipitation this season.(This photo is from my files from last Winter, looking toward Sunrise Point from Sunset Point.)A couple of other items of note:
Thursday is the 12th and the bicentennial(s) of the births of two of history's more significant individuals: Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Tomorrow (Monday) PBS's American Experience will premiere a new program on Lincoln, The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. On Tuesday (2/10) National Geographic has a new program, Darwin's Secret Notebooks and The Science Channel is airing three different programs about Darwin in prime time on Thursday.
Next weekend, Friday Feb. 13 through Monday Feb. 16 is the Great Backyard Bird Count. I am going to personally try and participate, even though there aren't many birds up here on the plateau - and I have to work three of the four days. Back in the old Florida days I was always working at the speedway (don't miss that one iota) and always missed out, but I'm really going to try this time.
