... WINTER-LIKE STORM TO HIT REGION THIS WEEKEND...

AN UNSEASONABLY COLD STORM SYSTEM IS TARGETED FOR UTAH THIS WEEKEND. ALTHOUGH THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL FILTER IN ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE BRUNT OF THE SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE STATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO COME DOWN TO THE VALLEY FLOORS FOR ALL OF UTAH EXCEPT DIXIE AND LAKE POWELL REGIONS BY SATURDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH SNOW AMOUNTS IN GENERAL MAY NOT BE SIGNIFICANT... EVEN MINOR AMOUNTS COULD CAUSE HAVOC WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT MOST TREES HAVE NOT LOST THEIR FOLIAGE. IN ADDITION... MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE ABOUT 25 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

So apparently we're in for a cold weekend with a possibility of Havoc! I just found it amusing to find that word in an official statement issued by the government.

In other news I was deathly ill all day yesterday. I'll give an account of that later.

Well, and not even just Havoc but HAVOC.

So, you're less ill today?

Yes, I'm less ill today. Whatever the demon virus was that attacked me my body seems to have been able to fend it off.

Worst 24 hours of my life though.

... they changed the weather warning. It now says "can be hazardous"... sad!

Awww, they did indeed reword the weather statement. It was fun while it lasted though.
