As of January 5, 2025, Lehi, Utah is buzzing with several exciting developments and updates that have made the past 24 hours quite noteworthy.

### Weather
The weather in Lehi has been quite chilly, with temperatures ranging from +2°C to -8°C. This frosty start to the year is typical for the region, and residents are bundling up to stay warm[2].

### Quiet Zone Reinstatement
In a significant relief to residents, the Federal Railroad Administration has reinstated the "quiet zone" for train horn use between Provo and Salt Lake City. This decision follows thorough safety inspections of all crossings in the zone, which were completed recently. The reinstatement means that train operators will no longer need to sound their horns at every crossing, providing much-needed peace and quiet for the community. This change is particularly welcome after months of disrupted sleep due to the mandatory horn use that was in place since September 2024[1].

### Pollen Count
For those with allergies, the good news is that the pollen count in the Salt Lake City area, which includes Lehi, is currently low. This is expected, given that the peak pollen seasons are typically in the spring and early summer. However, it's worth noting that mountain cedar pollen can still be a significant allergen during the winter and early spring months[3].

### Air Quality
The air quality in Salt Lake County, which encompasses Lehi, is currently within the 'good' range. The PM 2.5 levels are below 9.0 µg/m³, and ozone levels are below 0.054 ppm, indicating healthy air conditions for outdoor activities[4].

### Local Events
If you're looking for something festive to do, Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi is still ongoing. This holiday light experience transforms the Ashton Gardens into a dazzling wonderland with millions of twinkling lights, themed areas, and spectacular shows like the Fire & Ice performance. It's a great way to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends[5].

In summary, Lehi is enjoying a quiet and festive start to 2025, with improved train noise regulations, pleasant winter weather, low pollen counts, and good air quality. Whether you're looking to enjoy the outdoors or indulge in some holiday magic, there's something for everyone in this charming Utah town.
