Snow Education

Today Brent and I headed up to Utah to spend Christmas with his family. I love visiting Alpine, Utah. It is right by Mount Timpanogus, many hiking trails, and a beautiful forest. Unfortunately, going up at Christmas time meant driving through a lot of snow. Here is what I learned.
This is Interstate 15 with one lane clear to drive on. This is a good thing. It is easier to stay on the road at about 50 mph.
I learned that even though it's freezing outside, the cows still roam looking for food. Why aren't they in a barn?
This is us driving on Interstate 15 when the snow was getting bad. The road was slick and icy. We couldn't go faster than 40 mph. It was super cool to stare at the large snowflakes flying toward us. Brent said that you can get hypnotized by them and drive off the road. Is that true?
Ahhh, we are safely in Alpine. Now the snow looks pretty on the trees. This is what I imagine snow is all about.
Look on the left of this picture. It is a local snowplow! It is much smaller than the ones I saw on Interstate 15. Have you ever seen a snowplow working? I hadn't. Brent thinks I have lived a sheltered life.
On the left side of this house, attached to the roof is a super long icicle. Yes, I learned a lot about the cold snowy winter of Utah. I am glad I am only visiting. I hope when we come home on Saturday, the weather is sunny!
