A HUGE storm hit Utah on February 13th. It hit the hardest in Alpine, Utah. That is where Scott works. The only highway in and out of IM Flash was closed down. The road was so bad that people driving on it gave up and abandoned their cars. So not only was it closed due to bad weather conditions, but because they had to get tow trucks to haul away the abandoned cars. The day shift at IM Flash couldn't leave and the night shift couldn't come in. So Scott ended up working a 24 + hour shift. Luckily IM Flash provided the stranded employees with dinner. It was a good thing Scott got in line quickly because they ran out of food. IM Flash also relaxed on their CNN and Weather Channel only policy and let employees watch American Idol. They even put on Lord of the Rings in one of conference rooms using a projector. Don't worry Scott got a little sleep. By a little I mean barely four hours on a wooden bench by the lockers!! Poor Scott!! When the bosses showed up the next day and realized how many people had been stuck there overnight they let them go home to get some sleep so Scott got Valentine's Day off. Hooray for Utah weather! (pics courtesy of ksl.com)

That is crazy! I haven't seen that kind of snow in years. There is nothing like that in Omaha, just the bitter wind and a few ice storms.

yeah that storm was nuts! We live right below the Highland/Alpine highway.. fortunately, Brady was able to make it home from Provo in just under 2 hours.. sheesh. I got home around 3:30p just when it was starting to get crazy. I'm glad Scott was okay and didn't get stuck out on the roads!
ReplyDeleteSo, that's a lot of snow! Hopefully there's not that much when you need to get to the hospital to have a baby! We can't wait to hear! Good luck!
