The first of December it snow a couple of days here in St. George harder than I have ever seen it. We got about 6inches one day and it lasted about 2 weeks. They said it hadn't snowed that much in 40 years. The boy's loved it of course, we built snowmen several times, had snowball fights and built forts. The Saturday that it snowed 6in Caden and I (Chad was sick throwing up all day) shoveled the drive way and sidewalks with gardening shovels (since we don't have real snow shovels) for 2 1/2 hours. The snow was so wet and heavy!! Church was canceled the next day due to ice and snowy roads. They have no snowplows or shovels here because it doesn't hardly snow so snow removal just doesn't happen and it turned to ice. Caden's school would not let them play outside for recess for 2 weeks because the temperature was below 32 degrees. It was pretty cold and icy for a couple of weeks but we enjoyed the change. I do have to say we were ready for the sun to come back and the snow to be gone after a week. The boys kept asking when it was going to warm up and said they liked the heat better!!
