Yesterday, we had a snow storm move in. The forecast called for 2 – 4 inches of snow. Well, let’s just say the weatherman has NO idea what he’s talking about!! This is what it looked like yesterday when I went to work:
I love the way that the black and white looks with the snow here.
At 5:00pm yesterday, the snow was measured at 11 1/2″ of snow. It finally stopped snowing around 8:00pm last night, with another 5-7″ accumulation.
This is this what it looked like this morning when I went up for breakfast:
These are our historic cabins here at Zion Lodge with Mountain of the Sun in the background. Oh yes, we even have an invasion of snowmen, only one so far has shown up, but I suspect there will be more arriving later today.
And here is the historic Zion Lodge, in all its splendor and beauty with snow.
What’s really crazy, is that this is the most snow this area has seen for many years. Washington County basically came to a standstill because of this storm. The city of St. George, Utah, has only one snow plow, and it’s at the airport, which is also closed because it couldn’t keep up. All the other towns and cities here have also closed down because they don’t have any plows either, with all church services being cancelled due to snow, which is also a first.
The Arizona Strip, with Interstate 15 through the Virgin River Gorge is closed until further notice because three semis collided and jackknifed over night. All the cars are being escorted out one by one out of the gorge by the Arizona Highway Patrol because of the accidents there. Snow is beautiful if you don’t have to drive in it. Stay off the roads if you don’t have to drive today.

Oh Kelly. Thank you! Guess I am glad I missed this beautiful scene. I am home in Florida now. Even on 1-10 I was delayed by ice.
Miss you Nancy
