Spring in Utah


Yesterday, April 16th, we had an interesting April shower. It was of the snow variety. Like 6 to 8 inches! They had forecast it, so we were forewarned. But it still didn't seem likely. All evidence, as you can see here, points to the fact that it was real.



8:00 am: I stuck a large dinner fork straight down in the snow on the back step. This, of course, got Angel's attention. Luckily she didn't injure herself on the fork or the slick steps.


Jim spent several minutes shoveling the wet stuff off of the driveway. If you look closely on the RH side, you'll see the snow was 6 inches deep. Our willow tree broke one branch, but many trees in Provo didn't fare as well and will need major trimming.


The kids are all home for Spring Break (though maybe we should call it Winter Break) and the girls went sledding while the snow lasted. Honestly, 99.9% of it is gone today, so no harm done except to the worms that got flooded out and to the broken branches.




This is pretty dark, but it's our backyard with a cloudy sunrise. I kinda like it.
Happy Spring to you all!

Lucky you. We only got about 2-3 inches that time. That was the day I hit another car, skidding on the wet road in front of Davis High. (sigh) Now I am waiting for my car to be fixed.
