March comes in like a lion and... out like a lion?

So like Robyn has blogged about multiple times already it seems that once a week we have a nice good day and then the next day it seems to dump snow on everyone. Well last night was no exception, as Thad, Harrison, and I left for Logan last night at about 8:30 the sky didn't look to dark and dreadful.

So we headed out, and as we went our way up I noticed that there seemed to be some snow falling at about the capitol in salt lake. Once we were there we hit just a little bit of snow, and then continued on and then we got hit again about Kaysville or Ogden, which conditions turned into just about white out, and with these conditions we also saw a more then a few slide offs, which then sent me into an almost state of panic.

Then the snow started to clear up a bit more and then we decided to go up through sardine canyon... that might have been a big mistake. so we started up the canyon we saw a sign that said 4 wheel drive or chains required, now for us we were in a two wheel drive vehicle with no chains... so what do we do we head up anyways.

The first part wasn't to bad but as soon as we hit mantua again we were hit with white out conditions, and this continued for the entire length of the canyon. It was so bad we could only tell where we were supposed to be only because of the road markers on the side...(nowI know why there there) so this continued I would say for about a half hour until we came out of the canyon when low and behold no snow.... GRRRR.... well the moral of the story is: when it snows, stay indoors.

The other moral of the story is follow your father's admonition. Honeyville and Deweyville are nice places to drive through on a wintery night.

Honeyville and Deweyville sound like nice places in general. Towns filled with melons.

I'm glad you guys are safe. Be careful on your way down Friday--it might snow again.

Steve and Jodie were travelling back to Logan at the same time as you. Just thought I'd tell you that...
