I grew up in Arizona and have never really experienced snow much until moving to Utah. I will have been here almost 2 years in January, but still feel I have a lot to learn about how to handle a true winter. Some things though that I have learned since being in Utah are:
There are closets in the Church buildings. We don't have these in Arizona. This is still a new thing for me and just seems a bit odd. I remember the first time I saw this odd thing. I was in Tennessee with my family when I was little. We saw on the wall these odd coat hangers and my brother and sister and I were trying to figure out what they were for.
For a few months, it feels like I have gone back in time and am living in a black and white movie.
And last, the power of just a little snow (or that's what I thought). Here is a picture of my car stuck in the cul-de-sac where I live. We all had to park away from our home last night as there was too much snow to get to the house. My car got stuck. Luckily it's Sunday and I will hopefully wait for the snow to melt by tomorrow, or I will be utilizing the shovel.

Brrrrr..... It's very pretty, though!!
Just being in the snow, slush, and cold weather reminds me once again why I love AZ winter's! The snow is pretty to look at but not drive in it.
I'm always afraid to hang my coat on the church coat rack because someone might steal it (on purpose or on accident). I know that's a terrible thought to have about someone who goes to church, but why take the chance on losing an expensive coat?
I remember hanging up our coats when I was young. Snow is pretty only when it first falls, then it gets dirty with the cars... I HATE driving in it.
I have the same fears about leaving my coat in the closet. I had actually addressed these fears with other people in the ward. They could not understand how I could think that. But then they also don't lock their car doors when they go to Church and wonder how their purse got stolen. I guess I live in a different world than they do.
In TN, EVERYONE hung up their jackets. The thought never even occurred to me not to. Maybe because I didn't want to carry six coats and my own at church. We also left umbrellas there, and sometimes church bags that carried the manuals while we were in sacrament meeting or another meeting. We do lock our car at the church, though. Ü Even the Bishop and Stake Pres's families left their jackets there. Maybe people in TN just trust more? Who knows?! I just know the thought never occurred to me NOT to hang it up.
