Weather

We woke up to a frozen white world Sunday morning. Our trees were bent over in agony, but we were lucky to only lose three branches in our entire yard. Others had entire trees down or trees split down the middle. Our neighborhood looked like it had a mini tornado go through.

We went out and knocked snow off every branch we could reach before the trees gave way. So many of our trees still have their leaves on, which is why so much snow collected in them.

















Apparently, however, this is only a preview of what's about to hit us. We're supposed to get a 100-year storm this afternoon/evening, meaning the worst winter storm Utah has been hit with in the last 100 years. I'm headed out to stock up on groceries. Let's hope the weather people are wrong. I'm feeling especially thankful today for a home, lots of food downstairs, and a family to hunker down with.
