SNOW

Sunday was a complete blizzard!!
Chris and all his friends went snowmobiling
They left early in the morning and headed to Tonys Grove area
He doesnt have cell service there and really doesnt til he gets to the base of Logan Canyon
I sat at work and watched the snow fly..
This was when it started
and this was about 5 minutes later
It was coming down so fast and so hard
By the time I left there were snow drifts next to my car and it hadn't let up at all
Drive home was NASTY
It was 430 by this point and we still hadnt heard anything from Chris
He promised he would text as soon as he got cell service so we knew he was safe and no one was hurt
The blizzard hadn't let up any at all
In fact it had gotten worse

By the time I made it to 1100 s in Brigham they had Sardine Canyon shut down and Logan Canyon
This is looking towards Sardine
You cant even see the TOC sign through the snow
Still hadnt heard from any of the boys
Went home
Sunk my car in the snow in the driveway
Got ready to head over to Todd and Jana's for dinner
Had to take the other car because mine was buried
Still no word from Chris
I was starting to get a little concerned by this point
The blizzard has been raging for hours
Both canyons they need to drive through are closed 
Finally after about an hour at his parents house I heard from him
They were good and just coming out of Logan Canyon
Chris came to his parents house where he had a lunch packed and drove straight to work to spend the whole night plowing until about 0430.. slept in his truck for a few hours and had to be at a training for work at 8 am in SLC
