12 Things We’d Undeniably Miss About Utah’s Winter If We Moved Away
In case you haven’t noticed, winter has arrived in Utah. The inversion has been in full force this week, and the temperatures in much of the state are pretty frigid. While we’re not looking forward to the hazy air and the black ice, it’s a good time to be thankful for the many wonderful things that winter in Utah brings — things we’d definitely miss if we moved away.
