Southern Utah: Mild Winter Wandaland!

 

Because our half of the globe is inclined away from the Sun, we will be entering into winter with longer days and shorter nights. The Southern Hemisphere will be experiencing the opposite, in the form of summer. 

 

A large number of Snow Birds stay here in southern Utah during the winter months to escape cold conditions in the form of freezing temperatures, ice storms, heavy snow fall. They come from other states and Canada.

 

Occasionally, an arctic front shows up, dropping snow, driving temperatures down but winters are generally mild. People get outside and enjoy running, hiking the local parks, bike riding and golfing year 'round! 

 

Palm trees are common on city streets, in residential landscapes and on many of Washington County's  13 local golf courses. I love the winters here and we do not travel until Spring, unless going further south!

 

People like getting to better weather in the St. George area. You're welcome to visit this beautiful, Winter Wandaland for yourself!

Happy Thursday! Southern Utah has become home to many who are no longer willing to shovel snow, unfreeze pipes or risk falling on ice, Will Hamm. They also enjoy being outside more often to enjoy their surroundings!

Hello Wanda - this is a nice overview of what can be expected this time of the year in the St George Washington County and Southern Utah areas.  Such introductions can better prepare visitors as well as residents-to-be.  Managing these expectations can bring greater satisfaction.

Hi Wanda,

Wandaland sounds so enticing! (I love that!) When we get snow in Sedona, I call it Snowdona, and when it comes to getting construction to the finish line, I use the term Slowdona.  But Wandaland is the best.  One thing we do not see in Sedona is palm trees.  Your climate must be more temperate than ours is.

Some people are surprised to see palm trees and people walking around in t-shirts and shorts in the winter, Michael Jacobs. I am used to it! LOL

I bet there are people in my area who would read this post and say, YES, let's GO! It's already been a long winter here. And officially it just started a few days ago. :-)
