A few more Blizzard Pictures

An eventful weekend in Park City. We went down to find some options for living this winter. Good news is we found lots of options. Bad news is we should have taken the Jeep! There was plenty of snow to be had. It snowed our entire trip. We saw some deer, hiked some hills and grabbed lots of classifieds. We were so grateful we did not have to traverse the pass during the night. THANK YOU mom & dad! I don't know if we could have made it.

Chris threw me the camera and said, "I'm in charge of cleaning off the car... you're in charge of documenting". What neither of us knew is how crazy the plow man was. I think he got pretty close to hitting me 2 or 3 times!

Chris loves throwing snowballs at me. The camera was my only save this time.

There was so much snow. The snow was above the bottom of the door, so opening it was fun, seeing all the snow get pushed and leaving a perfectly leveled surface. Here we have the tire barely showing above the snow line. Didn't help our chances the plowman had gone behind and made a nice little wall behind the car. We had fun digging it out.

Park City or Bust

Sommer has an internship near Park City, so here we are in Park City trying to find a place to live for January to April.  We've had a lot of fun looking.  The best part of our trip is that we picked the best time to come!  When we left Rexburg we had heard rumors of a big snow storm.  Well, we found it 10 minutes after leaving Rexburg and drove in it throughout the entire drive.  Luckily we had left early in the morning Saturday so we drove throughout the day and got here in time to check a couple places out.  Here is a pic of a hill we had to drive up.  It had been snowing so much and the temp was 35 degrees, so the snow was slippery.  My car couldnt make it up this hill  :(

You can see wheere we had to turn off because my car stopped and started sliding back.  It just so happened  that there was a drive way to the left of where i stopped.  So we got in there and ended up walking the hill to the place we were looking for.  It was a nice secluded area but it was in Midway and a far drive.

So we stayed at a nice hotel, which made things reeeeal nice and easy for us.  Thanks!  So we woke up and had a nice breakfast and grabbed all the newspapers for the surrounding cities and have been scouring through the classifieds and calling them to try to follow up.  I looked out at my car and was surprised to see almost 2 feet of snow on my car!

Hi

Hey!

Warmth Again!

So after a bitter cold night, we finaly have heat again! Plus the hot water! When we drove to school this morning it was 4 degrees. One of my teachers said it was -2 when he drove to school. We're just happy ours is back on and running!
Helps us remember how lucky we are to have heat. The people who settled places like Rexburg without heated homes were crazy... I guess they had fireplaces though.
