January Swimming

I can't believe how nice the weather has been for the past two weeks. Here I am getting ready to leave Utah and the weather has been almost spring the entire time. It only snowed 3 times since I've been home, and every time it snows, it melts off by the following afternoon. We had so little snow that we were even able to open up the swimming pool to go for a swim!

OK, maybe we didn't actually go swimming, but we did open the pool. The picture was taken on Jan. 2, and I can't remember a time that we could have even opened the cover if we wanted to on Jan. 2. The entire backyard is usually covered in snow, and the cover is a thick ice sheet. Not so this year. I thought of taking a dip in the pool when I discovered the tropical water temperature of 35 degrees. Then I thought better of it, realizing that 35 degrees was in Fahrenheit, not Celsius.
