Silly Storm!

Blizzard

A blizzard is a severe storm condition characterized by low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snow.

----------------------------------------------

Over the weekend the news started reporting that Utah was going to be hit with a severe blizzard Tuesday evening and that it was going to be the worst storm we had seen in years. Everyone started getting all hyped up about this blizzard and it seemed as though it may have been the most popular topic of conversation. All over TV there were reports of "storm preparation" and "dangerous conditions" and "preparing for thanksgiving out of can". Schools and Businesses were closed down early Tuesday so people could make it home before the storm. Even Jed ended up finishing his work early so he would be safely indoors when the storm hit. People everywhere stayed in their houses waiting for this "apocalyptic" type storm...

So we hunkered down and waited... and waited...

and waited...

The snow finally started falling around 6pm and by definition (provided above) it WAS in fact a blizzard. Cold harsh winds whipped the snow around creating a beautiful picture of white and winter. However, it was definately NOT the worst storm we had seen in years. In my honest opinion the meteorologists created panic and stress over a little baby storm... Must be Californians! If there was this much hype over something so minor I can not even imagine what their reaction is going to be over the rest of our snowy season here in Utah.

(This morning when I looked out the window to assess the damage, the sky was such a beautiful blue and the grass was peaking up out from underneath the snow... It was a beautiful picture and I couldn't resist sharing it with the world.)

I am thankful that the storm was not as harsh as expected...

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving

Keep Smiling

Love always
