On Sunday morning we left Logan to go back to AZ during a terrible snow storm. It was so bad we had to take an alternative route because the canyon was too dangerous. My little brother was two hours ahead of us, but he decided to go through St. George instead. The storms were hit and miss and in random areas. As we got to the point where we needed to decide whether we'd go one way or another, we decided to go the way we always go that is a little shorter, but we knew we'd be chancing bad roads. We felt pretty good about it, but as we got about an hour outside of Kanab, Phillip fell asleep and the roads were completely snow packed. I was SO terrified as I was only able to stay on the road by watching the posts on my right and when I found random tracks that were mostly covered by snow. Phillip woke up just in time as a car went off the side of the road and he helped them get back on. After 40 miles of that, the roads turned great! It was dark as we got closer to Flagstaff, and the storms began again. It got a little too scary for us and Phillip called his boss and said we were going to stay there for the night. Let's just say we had to dig our car out to see if it was ours...and it was so bad we stayed another day! So we were stuck in Flagstaff for 2 days, but it was great because we were able to get a head start on our new semester for school since it started Monday. Just so everyone is aware though, we LOVED the snow!

I'm glad you guys are ok! I heard the snow was pretty bad up North.
I haven't seen that much snow in a long time. I am glad you made it safely.
How are you doing?Are you going to come down to AZ for the funeral? I'm not sure where you guys are at this moment in time. ;)
