Let it Snow

David and I have been living up Emigration Canyon with his parents since May of last year, and it's been working out wonderfully so far. It's really nice because it stayed at least 10 degrees cooler up here during the summer, the leaves actually started changing color in September (when they're supposed to, in my mind), and we're pretty much immune to the nasty inversions the Salt Lake valley gets in the winter. What I was not prepared for, however, was the snow. At the beginning of December, it snowed about 2 feet at our house!

I had never seen this much snow outside a ski resort in my life! All of the snow up here has definitely made driving an adventure. David works in Park City, and Parley's Canyon rarely gets plowed decently, so he takes the Jeep up there most of the time, which leaves me the 2-door, 4-cylinder Yaris to go down the canyon. I have spun out more times than I care to admit, and have probably thoroughly annoyed all of the other canyon residents lucky enough to have 4-wheel drive who are also just trying to get to work. Oh well - I go 20 miles per hour and drive in second gear and do just fine.
