It seems that the snow is following me these days. For my first trip of the new year, I headed to the Mountain West, and right upon landing in Denver, boom, snowstorm. Luckily, I made it unscathed to the home of the Chipotle burritos, wearing a jacket that makes me feel like an Arctic explorer.

In case you're somewhere across the vast swath of the US that has been tackled and beat up by this weekend's winter weather like an NFL playoff quarterback, grab a warm, relaxing beverage of your choosing, and join me for a round of Salesforce knowledge.
