First snow on the benches, Salt Lake City

Oh no. Winter is coming to Salt Lake fast! The Wasatch Front (a wall of mountains in the Rocky Mountain range bordering Utah's northern cities) had a light dusting of snow above the bench today as temperatures dropped. Summer is gone. Fall is here and Winter approaching. Will Utah have one more wet year after nearly 6 years of draught? One hydrologist gives it a "neutral chance" -- technical speak for "it beats me".

The snow puts me in the mood to create a limerick (reader beware).

There was a warm yard in SL City
Now dusted with snow, what a pity
The summer is gone
and so its green lawn
The weather grows white, itty-bitty
