On Thursday it was a beautiful WARM (44 degrees) day with a blue sky! But the news kept saying that a big winter storm would hit by 3 PM. Sure enough, 3 PM came and the flakes started to fall. All night it snowed and when we woke up the next morning it was a winter wonderland out there!
I measured the snow that had collected on top of our garbage cans... 21 inches! That's nuts! I don't remember ever getting that much snow in one day before! When I was little I remember it snowing a lot and we were out of school, but that was a long long time ago.
I braved it to get a shot of the root cellar, buried in snow! Up to my knees...
But it didn't stop there! It kept on coming down and by the next morning we had 9 more inches!!!
So yes, we are currently hibernating in this snowy cold place. We live right up by the mountain so I think we get more snow than other parts of Utah does. It's been so long since I've been around snow like this. Part of me is missing Hawaii/Vegas right now and that warm winters that I had gotten used to. But another part of me is like a giddy little kid, sitting by the window for hours watching the snow! It's been fun to see our little boy and the snow. I had forgotten that he has not lived around snow his whole life, so this is a different kind of winter for him. We were here last year but it was a really mild winter and we didn't get much snow at all.
We hardly received anything! You'll see when you come to my house today. It's crazy how much you northerners got! I can't say that I'm jealous. ;)
ReplyDeleteJason and I were just talking today that Hawaii ruined our cold endurance. We want to move to a warm, tropical place again.
It is not warm here. This morning the temp in my car read 29*. Seriously people that is suppose to be the perk of living in Vegas. I guess it is warmer than Utah but still I'm freezing and I'm pregnant. I should be loving this weather but it just too cold for my warm Vegas blood.
