April 16th: Isn't it suppose to be Springtime in Utah? I guess somebody forgot to let Mother Nature know. This morning we woke up to no power in the house (yes, I did pay the power bill) and about 10-12 inches of snow. It was very wet and heavy snow (I should know, I shoveled the driveway, all by myself). I thought we were suppose to just get a lot of rain in April, but this much snow? I'm sure by the week-end it will all be gone and we will be enjoying 70 degree weather (yea, right!) and Dave can mow the lawn --I know he just can't wait to get out there and start the lawn mowing season.

This is the view of my back deck this morning before I left for work at around 8:30 am.

Another picture of the back deck. Look at all that snow on the railing and the trees! I must say, it does look pretty and in April, it wasn't too cold (however, that depends on your definition of cold!)

It appears that our mailbox didn't make it through the storm very well. This was how I found it this morning. (Ours is the black cylinder on the ground). Never fear, the mailbox has been fixed (thanks Dave!) and is back ready to receive whatever the postman delivers to us, preferably no bills please!

This picture was taken when I got home from work. What a difference 10 hours makes (yes, I had a long day at work today). Of course it helped that the sun came out and melted most of it away.......

Where did all the snow go that was on the handrail earlier this morning?
Glad we don't have to deal with this...
