Web Cam and SNOW!

First of all, Josh and I got to talk with our good friends Jack and Sarah using a web cam. It was so cool! They've been living in Europe since October-ish and it was so fun to be able to see and talk to them. It made me want to get a web cam for everyone in my family so we can talk for free and see eachother while we talk. My nieces and nephews would love it too! So, one of my new favorite things is a web cam. I actually don't have one yet,(we used Josh's parents) but it's on my things to buy list!

The big news of the day is...we are snowed in! Ok, not literally, we can still open our front door, but even our church was canceled! This is part of an email from our bishop titled SNOW EMERGENCY...

RECOMMEND NO TRAVEL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
IF YOU TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE AREA, CARRY A SNOW SHOVEL AND BLANKETS IF YOU GET STRANDED.
KEY HERE IS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY PULLED SEVERAL FOLKS OUT OF THE SNOW DRIFTS...
UNLESS YOU HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE , DON’T LEAVE THE HOUSE. TAKE CARE OF YOURFAMILY FIRST, THEN HELP A NEIGHBOR.
ALL HOME TEACHERS CALL YOUR FAMILIES AND CHECK ON THEIR STATUS.
I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THOUGH A PLOW HAS BEEN ON SOME STREETS, CONDITIONS ARE SO BAD NOW THAT DRAPER IS NOT SENDING MORE PLOWS UNTIL THE STORM SUBSIDES.
IN SHORT, USE YOUR HEAD. KNOW YOUR CAPABILITIES...YOUR LIMITATIONS. DON’T PRESS BEYOND THEM.


Crazy huh! I wish I had a pic, but they aren't turning out too well, considering it is completely white outside! I swear I live in Antartica! This has been the worst winter ever! At least I only have 8 more days until I leave for Hawaii!

Ah, Snow! At least the weather in Utah has made up its mind this year! That, seriously hasn't happened for forever! Hey, not all of us get to escape to hawaii. You lucky duck. We miss you, and we loved seeing you both over the good old web Cam. Cheers from England! Land of the Overcast Skies. BOOO
