There was a weird vibe on the streets of ParkCity
this afternoon. Things were a little quieter than usual, true, but they were
also slushier than usual. And, apparently, about to get slushier. ---
Sundance 2010 officially kicks off tonight with three
screenings, but people are talking more about what’s likely to arrive tomorrow,
and not on any of the venues’ screens. The Pacific storm that pounded California today is expected to deliver a meteorological
ass-whuppin’ to the WasatchMountains, and has already delayed several flights
into Utah.
Recent years have seen wide variances in winter weather during Sundance – 2008
delivered a couple of potent storms, while last year was fairly mild – so
long-time attendees know to expect anything. One hopes that would mean bringing
watertight footwear able to withstand ankle-high puddles. At least today they’re ankle high.
