Blizzard of '17


Can you believe this freaking weather?!  HOLY MOLY!  I have never in my entire life, seen weather as crazy as this.  I always believed the saying that if you didn’t like the weather in Cache Valley just wait a few minutes cause it will change..but this is RIDICULOUS.  The storm that we got was so insane! Monday, January 2nd, we had off due to observing New Year’s Day.  Work proceeded as usual on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Thursday however, it seems like the whole valley got cancelled.  I got a text from Tracey (my boss) on Wednesday night saying that we were having a snow day because schools decided to close.  SINCE WHEN HAVE THE SCHOOLS IN CACHE VALLEY HAD A SNOW DAY?! They were expecting below freezing temps and freezing rain. Boy, I guess there is a reason that the weather man is doing the weather and not me.  Cause he was right.  It was so freaking cold outside.  Devin spent most of Thursday clearing roads and roofs.  We later took his mom down to her appointment in Ogden.  Which by the way, Devin found probably the last Sobe Lifewater Strawberry Dragonfruit drink that I will ever have.  It was delicious.  Sobe decided it was not and quit making it.  :(  Saturday (January 7th) Devin and I had planned on going snowmobiling.  Well Friday, the day before, dad sent me a text saying that it reached -35 in Dry Lake while he was on his way to work.  NEGATIVE THIRTY FREAKING FIVE.  I can’t even handle that.  I sat inside all day on Saturday while D cleared more roof tops.. it was sooo cold! We did end up going snowmobiling and it was like 2 feet of beautiful powder.  It’s been a long time since Dry Lake has had that much powder.  Devin was in pure heaven.  Of course..only to have it ruined.  It has literally rained since Monday.  Today is Wednesday.  Rain in January? I know.. I didn’t think that it could get any worse.  We went from -35* in some parts of the valley to 40* in some parts.  That’s a 70* change.  I really just wish that whoever ticked Mother Nature off…or Elsa off…would just say their sorry.  Haha! But seriously.  This is ridiculous.  See pics below:
