St. George Snow Day!

So living up in Northern Utah I am use to a lot of snow. Down here in sunny St. George we get an average of one snow fall a year. It will stick for a few hours and be on its way. Last year we were amazed because it snowed and the 1/2 inch stayed for like three days. This year has been crazy. We have had at least three good snow storms were the snow has stuck for a couple days. The last one being a big on for us. It was on the Wednesday before Christmas, I was bringing Jared home from Karate because it was snowing pretty well. On the one minute trip home Jared was saying I hope it snow enough that we don't have to go to school in tomorrow. I told him he will have school because were I am from you have to have like 24 inches of snow before they cancel school. Next morning we wake up to 4 inches of snow and NO School. I guess the school buses are not made for snow here. So we played in the snow for hours. It was tons of fun. In the month of December St. George will average .1 inches of snow. This winter we had 8 inches which made of snow pack 8000% above normal. Crazy!

Neighbor fun!

Fun in the snow! When you have 3 feet of the stuff it kind of looses it's novelty and just becomes an annoyance. It's probably all melted by now. I'm so jealous.
