Oh random freak April snow storms. How we hate you. You always show up after days of beautiful sunny weather. Days where we bust out our flip flops and shorts and soak up the sunshine. We open our windows, stop using the thermostat, and pack up our winter sweaters and shove them to the backs of our closets. We watch our tulips bloom and contemplate putting our plants out on the front porch. We go on lovely walks and even think "dang, it's almost
too warm out here." And then, you strike. It happens every year. It shows up on the 5 day forecast, but somehow still surprises us. Still makes us drop our jaws in disbelief--because really, there's
no way it can drop 40 degrees overnight after this beautiful day. Silly Kevin Ubank--he's crazy. But. . . believe it, Utah! And just pray that this year it's only freak April snow storms and not May and (gasp, please no) JUNE.
At least Tanner is happy. He planned on going on a long all-day hike today with his brother Jordan who's in town for spring break (oh the irony). Any normal person would be bummed out of their mind to wake up to this on a day they'd planned on hiking, but Tanner was thrilled. ?? (I either married an insane optimist, a good actor, or a real man, take your pick) In his opinion the weather couldn't have been better. He packed his hiking poles, clamp-ons, snowshoes, avalanche shovel and was out the door--the first day in a long time I've seen him happy on the backside of 8 a.m. Cross your fingers he comes back alive!
