Well, I got my wish :)- it snowed all night last night, and most of today. And, due to the excessive amounts of wet, heavy snow, we were without power for about 8 hours! Seems like most of the Salt Lake Valley was w/out power for part of the day; at one point, the recorded message to update us on the status of restoring power said there were 19,000 people w/out power! That totally makes me grateful for all the power company employees, who had to work in that awful cold so I could have a nice, warm house tonight ;).
It was kind of an adventure- our house stayed pretty warm [we have a gas stove, and I made hot cocoa and grilled tuna sandwiches, and boiled water just to keep the unit on LOL]- the kids built a fort in the basement, and played "fox and geese" outside w/the neighbors. Jared surprised me and got home earlier than expected [Hooray!!!], and spent most of the day shoveling out other people's driveways and sidewalks. I wasn't worried- I knew we'd be fine :).
And tonight I am grateful that I don't have to burn wood to heat my house.

Sounds like we got the weather you had last weekend. Ice, ice and more ice....YUCK! I'd take a foot of snow over 1 inch of ice. The only good thing about these kind of days is snuggling on the couch watching DVD's.
