Loss of visibility

Whirling snow, ice and wind descended on northern Arizona and southern Utah this weekend. While driving to St. George (snow in Page but no accumulation, snowing towards Kanab, snow on the ground in Kanab, snowy roads in Apple Valley, rainy day in St. George) my home landscape looked totally foreign. With clouds hovering over the buttes and ridges, I was left with the few feet of scrub brush on either side of me. How I missed the colorful redrock landscape that paints this region. Amazing what you don't think to miss until its gone for a day.
