Notes from the Granite Area Arts Council The column returns!

Welcome back to Notes from the Granite Area Arts Council! I’ve returned from my brief vacation, which I frankly regretted taking – writing this column would have been a welcome distraction from getting snowed in repeatedly on our farm this December. Hope you were able to make it out into the world, that you had a pleasant holiday season, and that your chickens – if you have them – are still alive. (Ours are, multiple blizzards later. Color me surprised.)

Drop by any time between 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. to hike to the historic warming shelter as stars twinkle overhead and candles flicker in the snow.

Warm weather for the weekend

Following the snow of last week, we had high pressure move-in for the weekend with light winds and lots of sunshine. With the light winds, we had some freezing frost in the morning which brought some travel concerns due to visibility down to one mile or less at times.
