[speaker001:] So, how is the weather out there?
[speaker002:] Uh, it's really cold and it's supposedly for this time of the year it's unseasonably cold and they've gotten more snow than they've ever had.
[speaker001:] Oh, really?
[speaker002:] You have, breaking records for coldness and all that kind of stuff. How about you guys?
[speaker001:] Um. Uh, it's just, it's a, it's about same. The usual, I think.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] So, nice for skiing and all that kind of stuff [LAUGHTER]. It's good.
[speaker002:] Yeah, well the weather, let's see, well, the snow here is different from Utah's, because I have lived in Utah for like ten years.
[speaker001:] Oh, really? What part?
[speaker002:] And, uh, Provo. I was going to B Y U.
[speaker001:] Oh, really? Okay.
[speaker002:] Yeah. And, uh, the snow is like, really cold. I mean, it's, like, really humid so it seems wetter or something like that. It's,
[speaker001:] It's more humid in Utah than there?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Or there?
[speaker002:] It's more humid in Iowa
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] than Utah.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] And it seems like when the winds blow, it's really, it goes right through you. It's really different from Utah's weather. I thought Utah was cold, but I think Iowa is a lot colder [LAUGHTER] [NOISE].
[speaker001:] Yeah, see, that's how it is in Texas, too because when it's cold, it's really cold. So,
[speaker002:] Yeah, I don't think there is any mountains to stop the wind [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] What's that?
[speaker002:] I don't think there is any mountains to stop the wind.
[speaker001:] Right. Yeah. So the humidity is I think what does it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah, I think that's true.
[speaker001:] Because I, I noticed when I got here, too, because like I'd, when it would snow in Texas
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] uh, I would just, I mean we'd be f-, really cold and we'd have to get really warm, and here you can almost not even wear a coat outside when it's snowing and you don't
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, that's true.
[speaker001:] you don't feel super cold. It was weird.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But, so how long ago [baby] did you graduate? Or did you, or,
[speaker002:] Uh, I graduated in nineteen eighty-seven.
[speaker001:] Oh, really?
[speaker002:] Yeah, my husband got his doctorate at B Y U, so that's, and so he just graduated this past year.
[speaker001:] Oh. So you just barely moved away?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh [LAUGHTER]. Yeah, we really miss, *slash error?
[speaker001:] Do you like it out there?
[speaker002:] Well, we really miss Utah [LAUGHTER]. We miss
[speaker001:] You do?
[speaker002:] the mountains.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Because it's, like, really flat here [LAUGHTER]. Well, not flat, but hilly. But no big mountains or anything.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. So you just moved away a year ago?
[speaker002:] Uh, in August.
[speaker001:] Wow, really recent.
[speaker002:] [Breathing] Yeah. But, uh, see, see what else can I say about the weather. Uh, [lipsmack], well, today was warmer [LAUGHTER]. It was like forty-five [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, warm [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] So, what's the temperature up today over there?
[speaker001:] Oh, man, it's got to be like, it's probably fifty, fifty-five, maybe.
[speaker002:] Oh, really?
[speaker001:] Maybe not that warm. Probably about, uh, yeah. It's not, it's not that cold, really.
[speaker002:] And whenever I remembered the weather reports in Utah, I never really remember them talking too much about wind chill.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] But they talk about wind chill here all the time.
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's a big deal in Texas, too.
[speaker002:] They said it could be, like, six degrees out and, like, negative forty-one wind chill.
[speaker001:] Um.
[speaker002:] So, that's what we're not used to [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's true. That makes a big difference. Huh.
[speaker002:] So, oh, I,
[speaker001:] So, did you used to ski when you were out here?
[speaker002:] What's that?
[speaker001:] Did you used to ski when you were in Utah?
[speaker002:] Oh, I've only, I've only skied in Utah once.
[speaker001:] Oh, really?
[speaker002:] I only skied once my whole life [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But, do you do a lot of skiing there?
[speaker001:] Uh, not tons, but I like to when I get a chance.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I've only been once so far, but had the opportunity a couple times since then. Just saving my money for Christmas things
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and that.
[speaker002:] So is this your first year in Utah?
[speaker001:] Uh, no, this is actually my third year.
[speaker002:] And you're going to school there?
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] Yep.
[speaker002:] At U of U, or,
[speaker001:] No, at B Y U.
[speaker002:] Oh, really?
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] So, but, I'll be here a long time [LAUGHTER], at this rate.
[speaker002:] What's your major?
[speaker001:] Uh, it was nursing, but I'm in the process of changing it right now.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, oh.
[speaker001:] Because it's really, really competitive at B Y U.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] You have to have like a [LAUGHTER] three seven to get in so,
[speaker002:] That's true.
[speaker001:] It's really, I'm going to look into some other fields. I'd like, all the science classes and that, I'm just not really enjoying too much so
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I think I better get into something that I can enjoy the process of going to school so,
[speaker002:] Yeah, that's, that's a good idea.
[speaker001:] Did you graduate in a certain field or,
[speaker002:] Uh, education. I got a double major.
[speaker001:] In,
[speaker002:] Uh, elementary and special ed.
[speaker001:] Really?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] That what my sister did.
[speaker002:] Oh, really?
[speaker001:] Yeah, you might know her. Here name is Lori, Bird. Maybe not [LAUGHTER]. I think she graduated around then, too, though, eighty-seven probably, but, she got her doc-,
[speaker002:] Yeah, well, I can't, there are so many girls in all my classes, I [LAUGHTER] can't remember
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker002:] how many people.
[speaker001:] Because they, since, uh, stopped that program. I mean, where you can
[speaker002:] Oh, have they?
[speaker001:] where you can get it double pretty easily.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] I mean, it's, it's really,
