Dreaming of a White Valentine's

Snow! We got snow! As in five inches of the white stuff, which is virtually unprecedented here on the coast. Now, I know these photos are not very impressive to our Utah friends and family. But we've never seen snow here -- and it's been awhile since we've seen it in Utah!

Scott had to drive home at six in the morning after the overnight storm, and he saw cars sliding off the road and a truck jack-knifed behind him. The natives here don't know how to drive on snow or ice, and that makes it scary for the rest of us to be on the road with them.

These are photos of our yard:










Unfortunately, by 10 this morning, our town had the same sad, dreary look as any Utah gray winter day. Mud has replaced pristine snow on the roads and the leaves have dropped their soft tufts of snow. Oh, well. It was beautiful while it lasted!
