Things are not as they appear

First let me preface this post by adding that it was over 40 degrees here yesterday and the 24 inches of snow we received the first part of the week is melting nicely.

This morning Quent decided he needed a diet coke so being the great and wonderful wife that I am I ran down to Brigham (as the locals call it) to get him a mega 52 ounce diet coke. In my excitement of the clear blue skies and the bright yellow sun I threw on a vest and flip-flops. Not my brightest move. Once in the Jeep the outside temperature read 10 degrees (I knew it was only 5 degrees in Logan this morning so I'm not sure why I would have thought it would be warmer here.) My toes immediately froze however I did not return to get shoes, I proceeded to town and returned with ice cold diet coke and frozen toes.

On the bright side it's supposed to be almost 50 degrees here tomorrow and even warmer next week. With Spring just around the corner, I'm hoping it will be flip-flop season soon.

In other news, Quent worked all week and managed to get caught up after missing over a solid week last week with his cold. The snow storm slowed a few things down at the hatchery but they were able to stock over 3,000 pounds of fish in local ponds yesterday which is another indication that Spring is near.
