Snow Days

Remember the days when snow only meant fun? No thinking about driving on yucky roads or having to shovel out your driveway 100 times? We haven't gotten as much snow as some, but we have gotten alot more than usual. People say,"This is what winter used to be like in Cache Valley." I'm honestly really grateful for the snow. It helps the drought and all. We have also had some good fun. We've been skiing, sledding, and just playing in the yard. The girls were out today,
sliding down our snow piles. However, I'm not sure I'm grateful for the snow plows. In Idaho
Falls, they rarely plowed the side roads. I have fond memories of gunnig my car as I turned onto my street, fishtailing down the road to finally slide into my driveway. It really was kind of fun. Here, they are terrific about keeping the roads plowed. In fact they go down the road to the side of my house at 5:00 a.m. about 50 times. Really my big issue is that they go so fast, they fill

your driveway with snow. Because I'm on the end of my cul-de-sac, I even get extra. There have been times I've gotten my driveway all shoveled, then gone out later to find a two-foot wall at the end of it. Shoveling that makes me want to cry. Then where to put it. It's far to haul it to the side of the driveway, but they say if you throw it back in the road, you can get arrested. I'm scared. Anyway there's my snow rant. I guess if that's all I have to complain about, life must be pretty good. I'll just chalk it up to a good workout.
