The Storm of the Century

Just a couple of days before Thanksgiving the weather man started reporting that we were expecting the "STORM OF THE CENTURY"!! My friend Linda was here to visit her parents and was leaving to go back to Illinois on Tuesday, the day of the big storm. I told her I would take her to the airport. Her plane wasn't scheduled to depart until 4:00 that afternoon but she wanted me to get there and get back before the storm hit. I picked her up at 10:00 a.m. and we headed into Salt Lake. We stopped and had breakfast, the wind was blowing so hard it nearly blew us over. We enjoyed visiting over breakfast together and then headed to the airport. Linda called to check her flight just before we got there and it said it would be delayed. We were hoping she would be able to make it out. The airport was suppose to be crazy as well with everyone traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday. Linda called me on my way home and as the phone rang I was afraid she was going to say, "Can you come back and get me my plane has been canceled," but instead she said, she got right through the screening and her plane would only be delayed 15 minutes. I went to the store on the way home so I wouldn't have to travel out in the storm. That night Les and I settled in expecting the worse. I got up at 4:00 a.m. in the morning and looked out the window...where was the snow?!?! There was only a little only a little skiff. The big blizzard of the century turned out to be the big fizzle of the century:-) Not that I was sad by any means. This morning however we did wake up to snow. Not the big one, just the usual start of winter. We probably received 2 to 3 inches. Les had to shovel the driveway to get out for his Bishopric meeting this morning. Where was I? Snuggled under the covers of course. Les tried to talk me into coming out and shoveling with him saying, "it would be fun." Oh ya, real fun. Here are a few pictures I took from the window. I didn't even want to venture out this morning, besides I had just done my hair for church:-) Here comes Winter!!!!!

Hope you get the drift...no pun intended:-)
