Crazy Night

After a few days break, the snow came back to utah county, and with a vengeance. We were on our way to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi from Orem and never made it. The traffic on I-15 halted and traffic was the worst I've seen it. It was almost 2 hours since we left and we then decided to take a surface street and maybe get there. The surface streets were backed up and after about 3 hours we decided to head back. The snow and wind made it difficult. It was very tiring and frustrating. We got home eventually at about 11pm, relieved to get out of the car. It turns out that there were several accidents and part of the freeway was closed for awhile to let snowplows on. Read about the storm here and here and how kids were stuck in school overnight.
