I think since I started complaining about my hatred for coldness, I'm being punished...with coldness...and a lot of it.
We woke up AGAIN this morning to no power. Bennett and Jacks were excited though because that meant "campout" in the living room.It all started Monday with a few small snow storms. Monday the schools were canceled due to 4 inches of snow and no wind (Really?) Tuesday and Wednesday we got about 10 inches more.
Then the big storms moved in.
Yesterday we woke to no power. Great. The snow was so warm that the snow falling was almost rain, but not quite. Throughout the day we added about 12 inces of moisture. At 1pm the power came back on and I noticed an odd sound. Drip. Drip. Drip. Our roof was leaking! Luckily Matt had just pulled in the driveway (he was sent home early from work. Yea!!!) Matt got on top of the roof and started shoveling, by the time he was done, 3 more leaks in the same area presented themselves. (Don't worry. We aren't too concerned. Mostly because we have renters insurance and it won't be our responsiblility to replace the roof when it caves in)
Sometime during the night it turned back into snow (the really light fluffy kind) Matt got the day off again (Yea!) One thing about Arizona is if there is even a skiff of snow they shut everything down.
This is our 6 foot fence yesterday afternoon with probably about 4 feet still showing.
This is the fence this afternoon with only about 1 1/2 left to the top.
Believe it or not, Matt is standing. And Bennett is slowly sinking.
It's still snowing strong and isn't suppose to stop until Saturday afternoon. Not only are we having some crazy weather up here. Pheonix (actually the whole state of Arizona) is crazy with flooding and such things. Last night there were 2 tornados. One in Cave Creek, just north of Scottsdale and another in Mesa and Gilbert. I don't know if they touched down or not, but scary none the less.

That's some snow storm!!!! Have fun with it....I'm secretly jealous. I'm stuck here anyway and if Robert could be here when it happened, I would love it!!!
I can't believe how much snow you guys get! We have no snow. It was over 40 degrees a couple times this week. And aren't you always cold anyway, I'm sure you're freezing!!
Thanks for thinking of me when the tornado warning was issued, it never touched down, funny though we were at D.Q. after ward temple night (I know were good parents to leave our children during wild weather to protect ourselves at the temple!) but at D.Q. this guy came up and told us about he warning and if it touched down to run for the freezer!!! Then he kept coming back to update us!
I can't believe the snow you got!!! It was some wild weather for sure! Hope the roof is still holding! ;) We really do need to come for sledding and fun in the snow! I just don't have any winter gear anymore...I'm brave though so were good! :) hahaha
By the way I love Jacks nickname at church!!
