Strange pheonomenon

Whee! I love it when I get home ahead of the storm! When we left work today the wind was really howling and it blew the vanpool around a little on the way home. By the time we reached Tooele it was raining...that was at 4PM. Within the hour the wind was really whipping around and the rain had almost stopped. Then we started getting incredible thunder and lightning...and SNOW! It has been awesome! It was like a blizzard with thunder and lightning, the snow blowing everywhich way and piling up pretty fast. (The news broadcast said this is actually very rare) Annie couldn't even get out her kitty door, the snow had piled up about half way, blocking it. (OK, a whole 4 inches, since it is at the bottom of our back door, but she still couldn't get out) I went out and shoveled the porch off and swept away the snow over her door. She of course went back to the living room and curled up on my blanket like any sensible cat should. Tomorrow is our Beehive Christmas luncheon and we go home right afterward...then we don't have to go back till January 2, 2008! I love Christmas shutdown! I am hopeful the weather co-operates with my plans to go home after Christmas and see G'ma and G'pa Danes. Bill can't go since he is teaching some stuff for the Holiday Merit Badge Pow Wow, so I'll only be gone a few days. I just don't want to pass up the opportunity to visit. Hope all of you are enjoying a wonderful season...I love your blogs... keep up the good work.
