   Nice!  We saw plenty of snow in southern Utah last March.  The   
   Bryce area got a foot the day before we arrived.  From the weather   
   alerts ahead of time, I wasn't sure we would be able to get there   
   from the Zion area, but it went fine.   
      
   It was cold a couple of nights though, the water hose froze up   
   one night at Kodachrome.  LOL  Luckily, we had water in the fresh   
   tank.  But it didn't take that long to get the hose thawed.
