Snow, First Time For the City, First Time For Me

Last night, the temperature dropped significantly here, Salt Lake Valley. The result, snow! It was the first snow of the fall in Salt Lake City, and more importantly, it was my first time to see snow. Seeing the snow was amazing, but the experience was really cold! My editors knew that I have not seen snow yet, so they sent me to cover today’s weather photo assignment. Of course, I eagerly accepted. I was sent to the Little Cottonwood Canyon in Sandy, UT. Also, I was able to take my wife with me to the assignment. We were so amazed to see the snow flakes hitting my windshield as we drove up the canyon. As we were driving, we saw a girl running along side the road. Since it’s snowing, we stopped and asked if she wanted a ride, but she declined and wanted to keep running. Well, in that case, I took out my camera and took some photos of her as part of my assignment.

As we were driving to the next town, the snow started falling stronger. It was harder to drive and to take photos because I could not find anybody who was outside in the cold. So I decided to turn around and go back. As we started to drive back, I saw two women shoveling the snow in front of a building. It was such good timing for me to take photos for the assignment. In brief, I turned in my assignment and very happy about the day.

Please let me know if I could have done this better. Thanks!
