Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful

(This has nothing to do with this post. This was taken on Mt. Rainier
a few years ago and I felt this post needed a snowy picture)

Today there is a severe weather warning. There is supposedly suppose to be a winter storm today that should far surpass anything that Provo/SLC area has seen, probably for the last several years. We haven't seen any sign of it besides a gray sky and snow in the mountains. I'm a little excited for the blizzard to come though so Dylan and I can hunker down and drink hot cocoa and watch movies. It's kind of an excuse for us to do nothing at all! The reality is though that Dylan work a trillion hours this week and I have loads of homework. So we will see what really happens.

On the downside of bad weather, my parents and little brothers were coming to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with us and my brother's family (who live 4 blocks from us) but because of the bad weather they had to cancel. My parents live in Enumclaw, WA and have been hit with tons of snow! It is so unusual for where they live. My dad works in Bellvue, about 45 minutes away, and is working from home because the weather is so bad. So even before we had our storm warning here they had to cancel their trip. I'm pretty bummed about it but at least we still have family close to spend Thanksgiving with.

UPDATE: It snowed a little bit last night. Less than an inch. They shut down schools, stores, and restaurants because of the bad weather that never came. The storm didn't really hit lower than Lehi.
