Boise in January is not our favorite time of year.
We usually get snow in December and then a high pressure system sets in right over Idaho in January and the cold air stays trapped next to the ground
and the warm air rises and a dreaded "inversion" occurs.
This picture was taken at Bogus Basin ski resort above Boise
where there are clear skies.
Fog and gray skies are all you see in Boise.
So, to escape the inversion, we headed to higher ground.
We hit the road and drove up to Cascade for a little
winter getaway.
We finally found the sun!
We put on a "Happy Face", since it was "smile day Friday",
(a new Instagram holiday that Taylor and Coltin invented),
and we took this picture of Tom with his new "galley wench"
Saturday we drove up to McCall and had some fun
cross country skiing at Ponderosa State Park.
Aren't the trees pretty covered in the "hoar frost"?
We had a fun day and then headed back to the gray skies
but as the song says
- "Gray skies are gonna clear upPut on a happy faceWipe off the clouds and cheer upPut on a happy face"I think we'll survive until the weather warms up or at least until we have another getaway.

Brrrr! We remember those darned inversions up north! This really is the time of year I apprecciate sunny St. George! Don't ask me about it in July and August!
Oh, what a cute and clever post! Those trees are gorgeous. You look so good, Joan with your new haircut. Okay, I'm joining instagram . . . as soon as I figure out how.
Cute post! We have the same thing going on here now - tomorrow is supposed to bring a storm front to blow it out of the valley. You are so good to go cross country skiing - my very fit sister!
Looks beautiful up there with all that snow!!
