  • Sometimes you get lucky. Last year I had countless “Wind Events” especially on the Glen. This year? Not many. Seemed like i was home reading about the wind every month. So for me, last year was worse. 😉

    I have never experienced anything like it but I wasn’t in Utah until 2003. To rip an idea from William Least Heat-Moon, who rated diners by the number of calanders on their walls…..this has been a 3 trash can year and we haven’t even hit the monsoon yet.

    I hope the winds eventually bring some rain to SW Utah. We already lost 2 people in a wildfire down here, don’t need that list to grow.
