The Blizzard

I'm a very precautionary runner in the winter. I usually just take a walk if there is any ice on the ground - not today. I'm going running. The Blizzard left nothing. Provo > The rest of Utah.
 
southwest end of the Salt Lake Valley - I barely got 2 inches in this storm, but had 12-13 inches of snow dumped on my home on Saturday night/Sunday morning after all the lake effect was done. That was the big storm.
 
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...
