SIX MONTHS LATER . . .

This picture was taken 6 months ago . . .
October 26
My birthday!
There has NEVER been snow on my birthday!
It's usually a nice, warm, sunshiny day.
High 50s-Low 60s.
Six months later . . .
. . . This is my "half birthday"
April 26
There is NEVER snow on April 26!
It's usually a nice, warm, sunshiny day.
Mid 60s-Low 70s.
NOT high 30s-Low 40s!
(There is STILL 690 inches at the Snowbird Ski Resort!)

. . . and this is April 30!
The tree behind my condo with blossoms and snow.


Poor blossoms


We have spent A LOT of recesses inside this spring!
This has only happened ONE other time in the 31 years Miss Mitchell
has been teaching . . .1983!

Because of the spring snow, sleet, hail, rain, thunder, lightning,
and temperatures in the 40s and 50s . . .
. . . no snow could MELT!
The week after school was out for the summer, the temperatures went from
the 50s to the 90s!

We then had this to deal with . . .


 Many roads looked like this!

There was nowhere for the rising waters to go in the Salt Lake Canyons!
They directed the water down the streets of Salt Lake to State Street!
There was even a bridge built over the street for people to cross!
It was aMaZiNg to see!
 (Hope it just gradually warms up between now and June!)
