Stop snowing already!


I survived three Alaskan winters. I like the snow. BUT when we got orders to Hill I asked Hero about the Utah winters. He spent the first 16 years of his life here in the Salt Lake valley. Hero assured me that even though it would snow, and maybe quite a lot, it would quickly melt.

He LIED! Okay, maybe not maliciously. I have had snow on the ground in either my front or back yard for over 2 months now. I am so over all this snow. Snow was expected and you came to understand that it would be a part of your life for over six months of the year in Alaska. It is not what I expected for our new home.

Once again it is snowing today. It is a wet, slushy, sticky snow. The kind that makes for fun snow man building, but not the kind you would let your toddler play in for very long. It is coming down in our area furiously. Today is the first time all winter that I have had to go out and clear off the satellite; twice in the last forty-five minutes alone.

I just wish the snow season would end. Bring it on spring and summer....mama wants to wear capris!
