It used to be said that Sundance brings the snow.

If the slopes of Park City were a little sparse at Christmas, then by mid-January - just in time for the film festival - the flakes would start falling.

This year, though, the streets of Park City were positively balmy. Temperatures in the 30s, sunshine and blue skies.

So, of course, on the day all of us are leaving Park City, the snow is falling. Just one more wild card in a festival loaded with unpredictability.

The festival will reconvene on Jan. 21, 2010. Until then, see you at the movies.
