"It's too hot for April," he said in jest, as many of his friends in Utah freeze

So it was crazy hot last week, we even broached 100 degrees, which is ridiculous. Thankfully, it's cooled down to a blissful 84 the past couple of days. I recently got an iPhone and I have to say, one of my favorite apps is the weather one. I have my two destinations as Scottsdale, so I can see what to expect at the hotel, weather-wise, and secondly: Springville. Since it was so hot last week, I didn't check my weather app all that often, for fear of seeing a possible temp increase...but that also means I hadn't checked Springville either, and it wasn't until I caught a glimpse of the Conference Center, and there were what appeared to be frozen particles of some hydrogen and oxygen based matter floating down to the ground. My sister saw it as well, and called my parents (who are back in Utah for a couple weeks doing doctor's visits). "Yes, we got 6 inches at our place." they said...It's such an interesting phenomenon that 700 miles away, it is 60 degrees cooler or warmer, depending on the direction the crow is flying....If that doesn't prove God has a sense of humor, I don't know what does. Even now, as I am typing this, it is currently 39 degrees in Springville, with a high of 61 tomorrow; while, at the same time, it is 71 degrees outside, and quite pleasant. I just returned from the drive in theater, and it was wonderfully balmy outside. Now, I know what some are thinking as they are reading this... "Ben, why are you rubbing this in? Don't you know that everywhere else in this blessed country is going through what seems to be the longest winter in history?!" and the answer is, Yes. I do realize that. I'm not writing it to rub it in, I just think it interesting. But to be fair, you all can blog about the lovely Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons where you are, while we go through the Hot, Hotter, and Not Quite as Hot, but Monsoonie, seasons down here. Give and Take, I say. But I'm happy to report I may get to see some good old fashioned winter yet... I'm going to Nova Scotia for 2 weeks at the end of the month, and their current 10 day forecast has a high of 52 degrees and thunderstorms...ahhh, the memories.
