Only in Utah
It is April. At least I think it is. It could be December. You just never know. Thursday I left Sandy to take David to a violin lesson. It was raining. By the time I got to Watsatch Blvd, I was in thick slush and sleet and by the time I arrived at Debbie's, I was in several feet of snow. Debbie wondered why I had come in such a storm.
Yesterday was Easter. It was 70 degrees and beautiful. Monday I woke up to a blizzard. By the time I got out of the gym, my car was buried in 5" of snow. It seemed like sevearl feet to me, but the news said otherwise. Last night the temperature was 32 degrees....and so I ask you, is it April or December?
