If we could only see the future then we would have bought a snow blower
this year. Last year we had hardly any snow which was good for me. I
only had to shovel a couple times. We had one storm in Nov. this year
and then it pretty much melted. I got my wish for a white Christmas
when it started snowing on Christmas Eve. Perfect huh? But now it
won't stop. We had a huge storm a couple weeks ago where it snowed
about two feet in a couple days and so the kids had a snow day. (it's
fun to have a snow day but sucks that they call you at 5:55 in the
morning to inform you and you can't get back to sleep) We had weird
freezing rain last week so a two hour late start of school on Friday.
(same early morning phone call) We experienced that many times (the
freezing rain) in Kansas but most people in Utah have not. The road
crews don't know how to deal with it, unlike Kansas where they just dump
sand all over the roads. Now we are back to snow, it started snowing
Sunday while we were at church, it didn't snow much yesterday and then
started last night and is still going. The kids have been great about
helping to shovel and we have some great neighbors that help us out with
their snow blowers. I haven't taken a lot of pictures but decided to
have the kids stand by our hill by our driveway while we shoveled this
morning before taking the kids off to school. (Julia and Matthew usually
help as well. Julia was already at school and Matthew was inside doing
homework.) Some of the kids have gone sledding a couple times at a park
near our home. But I think now they can just sled in our yard!
