I Looked Out the Window and What Did I See...

SNOW, Snow and more snow!!! They say that we have not had this much snow in Utah since 1996. Last week we had 3-4 storms and they are saying we will get more this week. Sunday was the most snow I have ever seen fallen. It was so beautiful! Sometimes I feel like I am living in a black and white movie when the weather is like this. I find it interesting that last winter was the coldest winter Utah had had for awhile, and this winter is one of the most snowiest (is that a word?). I wonder what next winter will bring. It's exciting that although I didn't grow up with winters, I am able to really get to experience it while living in Utah.

Winter wonderland view in front of my home"Max" the Dayton's dog... enjoying the opportunity to be in her own element.Riley and Molly shoveling the driveway to be able to get the van out and go to church.
Riley taking a break and creating a "snow chair" to relax in.
Holly looking "cute" before helping to de-snow the car. Unfortunately she was not able to look like this during church. The hair had to go back in a ponytail.
Molly volunteering to take the snow off of my car because she was already wet.
Feeling like we had to literally "hike" up the driveway to get home.

1996 was the first winter we were in Utah! I remember how bad it was too. We lived up on the mountain in Salt Lake and the parking lot was an ice skating rink. Best of luck to you~ be careful!

When did the Dayton's get a dog?

Sarah - I like how you described the parking lot as a skating rink. I've seen things like that around here. I tend to now put on shoes that have good traction and not for matching clothes or cuteness.

Lindsay - The Dayton's got a dog for Christmas. It's an older dog, that is very friendly. It will bark, but that's about it. It's strictly an outside dog. That may be why you didn't see it last time you came over.

Oh wow! Looks like a nice place to play -- for a day. I'm enjoying AZ weather this winter....

I am freezing, and we are in the high 50's. We'll be up to the 70's come Friday. (Back to normal!) I'll never complain again after looking at your pictures. We live in two different worlds.

Was Sunday's Snow the best because you didn't have to travel far in it?
