Woke up this morning to find a light dusting of snow all over.  24 degrees outside and the wind still blowing, although not as hard.  There was a bit of black ice in some places on the highway.  Here is some of the scenery of west Wyoming this morning:

Then entered Utah.  Here is some of eastern Utah:

Then I ran into some snow on the mountain just east of Salt Lake City.

Once I got over the top and going down the other side it cleared up nicely. 

This photo is just coming into Salt Lake City.

Here is the Morton salt plant on the southern portion of the Great Salt Lake.  Those big white piles are pure salt. 

Then entered Nevada and started to go back up again.  It didn't look too good up ahead.

I was right, more snow.

Finally drove out of that and went back down again. 

Stopped for the night in Battle Mountain, Nevada at the Flying J truck stop.  With all the up and down and bad weather I managed to drive 767 miles today.
