Every single year I was at BYU (5 winters total), it snowed the first week of April. I believe Derek had similar experiences when he was there too. I have NEVER seen a Utah winter that ended earlier than April, but have always seen snow during that month. That's why I can never believe it when Utahns gloat about having 4 seasons! They don't. There is no Spring, really, and winter literally lasts for 6 months - Nov through April. Jessica, just for the record, Utah winters ALSO last through the first part of April, at the EARLIEST.

Shoveling snow should never be embraced (although I might count it as one because I am losing the drive to embrace winter and am running out of ideas...)

I will admit that I thought that Utah had tough winters...until I've lived in the winter wasteland of IOWA for 5 winters. We STILL have an inch of ice on our driveway from 2 months ago, and we have a week with single digit highs still to get through. Not to mention the worst part of Iowa winters - the fact that they don't end til April at the EARLIEST! So next time you all think that things are so bad, just be grateful. You could live by us in Iowa, or worse, by Jared and Jamie in Minnesota! LOVES TO ALL! :) OK all of you Utahns — you really have no reason to complain!

This time of year I am reminded about why I live in Texas. Keep this post, because come summer I will need to be reminded again.

Seriously! Two days of snow would be the best thing ever! I am all about the Texas Gully Washers! Hopefully it will warm up for a few days so some of that snow can melt. HAHA!!!! Seriously!
