Snow, Snow, Snow

This blog is far over due. We have gotten so much snow this year. Last night we received another several inches. While it was not the largest amount of snow we have received it did cause the most problems for drivers. There were literally hundreds of school children unable to get home until late into the evening. The freeway at the point of the mountain was a mess. It took a friend of Christy's 5 hours to get home from Park City. So many roads were closed. I think it was so bad because of the timing (end of the work day) and the high winds. Anyway for so many here in Utah it was a pain. Ryan plowed for several hours in the evening came home around 11 PM and then left again at 4 AM. He is still gone.

But all that said, Nathan loves to shovel. He loves to get all bundled up and go out in the snow to shovel like his dad. He prefers if his dad is with him but it doesn't have to be light out, obviously. He is at this very moment begging for me to let him go out in the snow to shovel. This time however, now he wants his wheelbarrow as well. Unlike Nathan I don't love shoveling. Ryan has always taken care of that. But this year he has been plowing and taking care of clearing snow for others. But it didn't even cross my mind last FHE that I should shovel our driveway so the picture below is the result. Both Roland and Dan got their cars stuck at one point. Roland grabbed Nathan's shovel to clear a path for Lizzy and Charlotte. I think Roland was quite disappointed when he learned we have a snow blower and I still hadn't cleared the dirveway. I'll have you know I have sinced used the snow blower and as long as there is less than 5 inches it works pretty well.
