felt like something might have been brewing, but all the mesowest stations are down... anybody else having that problem? anyone heading out to try Utah Lake?

Mike,

I was too hopeful as well. Decided to take a trip down to SSB after seeing 2 decent north days in a row. Unfortunately, dark clouds gathered over Spanish Fork and shut it down.

It was my first skunk this year.

http://www.met.utah.edu keeps going down. Is it the general consensus that noaa is a more reliable site? If so, I'll redesign the WindTalker to read from there.

I think Spanish Fork Canyon shut it down.

The canyon winds kicked up yesterday afternoon, which (according to my theory) pushes against the NW and will kill our beloved thermal.
