It's snowing yet again in Utah today. Last winter was so very mild that we're all a bit surprised that this one isn't. I'm particularly annoyed that it always seems to storm on the days when I have a million things to do and places to be.

| Taken about 5pm today |
However, when I saw the snow today, all I could think was "Hooray! I love the snow!" Here are 12 reasons why:
- Yesterday I had an oil change and all the trimmings. At the very least, my car is safe to drive!
- I wore boots to church instead of regular heels. Thank goodness my feet were protected during my walk in the snow.
- It didn't start to snow until after I arrived at church. I might not have gone otherwise, and I needed to hear the talks and lessons that were shared today, not to mention catching up with Sylinda, Wendy, and Larissa.
- I didn't care if my hair got wet... and it actually looked cuter after being soaked in the snow than it did before :P
- I made use of the awesome, long-handled brush my dad gave me a few years ago. How in the world do people live in Utah without keeping a brush in their car to sweep away the snow?
- Everyone else on the road was content to drive 15 miles an hour... or at least didn't mind that I did.
- Arrived home accident free!
- My mom was very understanding about my missing dinner tonight, and I wasn't obligated to go anywhere else.
- I stocked up on hot chocolate yesterday, so I'm enjoying my favorite white hot chocolate and cookies while I look out at the storm.
- Downton Abbey is particularly angsty tonight. I wish I could have watched with my mom, but at least the antenna hasn't had any problems like the last time I tried to watch t.v. at home.
- I brought my laptop home for the weekend, so if I need to work from home tomorrow I can.
- We've been complaining for weeks about the hideous inversion that has clogged up the Salt Lake Valley. This storm is sure to clear up most, if not all of it! Hooray for clean air!
What are you thankful for on this glorious snow-filled evening?

I'm catching up on much-needed blogpost reading and writing hahaha
:P Fair enough, Aaron. Can't wait to read what you've written!
Yesterday morning, I was grateful to see the Wasatch Front mountains from my kitchen window. And last night, I was very grateful to snuggle up with my hubby on the futon watching Hugo (in 3D -- it's fun and a bit amazing!). We had delicious, homemade tortilla soup and Reuchel sandiwches (it's a combination of a Reuben and a Rachel). I am also grateful for the clean air this morning.
I do think snow is beautiful... i think it brightens up everything, especially the fresh stuff. and around here, fresh air is a comodity!
