The Blizzard

I'm glad I made it alive.
That was "The Day After Tomorrow" in real life.
I'm also grateful I can tear up the letter I wrote my family yesterday.

P.S. I'm never believing those weather nerds again, and their Doppler, Viper, Stingray crap again.
 
Couldn't help but laugh. Wal-Mart ran out of flash lights. I love the news. "Yeah Dan and Kerry, it's getting messy out here. I don't know if you can see these people but they have to brush the snow off of their car just to drive. It's pretty bad." Really?
 
Quite ironic that my power went out during the first snow of the year and the day before the "blizzard". During the "blizzard", all that happened was my work told me to not come in for the night. Other than that, no power outages and really not that much snow.

I believe this picture is appropriate for the situation.

Funny, I went to get burger a couple of days ago at the Commissary and who's standing in front of me in line...
 
Cache Valley and Northern Box Elder county definitely got the worst of it. The below zero temps is what's gonna do more damage than anything else.
 
We were hit hard in Layton, for about 3 hours. It was more the wind and the low visibility rather than any big snowfall. We had about 6" of snow and a lot of leaves/branches/garbage on our driveway. But this doesn't count since it wasn't in Utah County.

lol, because Utah county = state of Utah. Not surprising for a Yootah county idiot to believe nothing exists north of the refineries.

LOL as if Layton or SL counts as the entire state of Utah?
From Utah County southward there was only a little bit of wind.

Just because you couldn't drive and text at 90 MPH in a construction zone in the far right lane while wearing your red sweater and listening to Kanye West's new album doesn't mean that the rest of the state experienced this "incredible" blizzard that left a few inches on the ground.

It's a bit hypocritical of some of you to be criticizing Utah County people of living in a bubble and being ignorant of the outside when 2/3rds of the state got only a bit of wind and nothing else. I dare you to ask those who live in Price, Cedar City, and St George about this Apocalypse like blizzard. I'm sure they'll tell you how bad it was and how Utah County was an anomaly...
 
Davis County, west of Redwood Road. Maybe an inch and a half. Maybe.

Almost two damn inches of snow on the ground??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

May heaven have mercy on us all.

Definitely worth canceling school, work, opening up churches for relief, and buying emergency supplies from Target. I can't wait for the next "big storm" Maybe it might leave us with 1/4 a foot of snow!

We might actually have too... Shovel!!!!!!!!!

Utah media hyping and overrating something that they shouldn't have. Sound familiar to anyone?

lol.

Exactly.

I think I might have brushed my car off 15 times last winter.

In freaking Utah of all places! Brushing cars off just to drive... Shoveling... And wearing boots!

The world is coming to an end.

Who was it that said this storm wasn't hitting "Utah"? Was it the northern Utah residents? Was it the Ute fans? Was it those listening to the new Kanye album? Or was it...

Where? Alaska? Certainly not here in Utah.

Oh, yeah, that's right.
 
lol.

So a county or two got a couple inches of snow.

Heaven forbid.

Can't wait till December and January. You winnies are going to wet your red panties and turn off Kanye West when you see a real storm. Something that might cause you to bust out a shovel or snow plow.

Got about 10 inches of snow here so far.

I'm guessing around six inches here. I didn't know 10 inches and six inches is "a couple.' But I guess that's Yootah county math. Should be a show down there titled, "Any chance we're smarter than a Weber/Davis county second grader?"

I don't remember the last time the first snowstorm of the year produced as much as it did. Had whiteout conditions during the evening commute for awhile. One area I drove through had visibility down to about 100 yards.

What was weird was that it was a very light (meaning relatively dry) snow, but it was melting underneath the top layer. Easy to shovel, but it was getting stuck on my shovel because my shovel was wet. Quite odd.
 
The blizzard warnings were not about snowfall. They were for high winds and low visibility, with frigid temperatures afterward. In my little corner of Utah, they were right. I'd rather have a big snowstorm that dumps 10" instead of the high winds blowing snow and branches.
 
Ooh, I forgot to add that Box Elder, Cache, Rich, Weber, Davis, and Morgan counties were affected fairly substantially. Guess that still is one or two counties, though.

I agree wholeheartedly. Give me ten inches of snow any time over 30 mph winds.

Absolutely not.
