Even in Utah...

...they cancel church because of snow.

We were hammered with a snowstorm & strong winds last night into this morning. The stake president at first just canceled all classes and we were going to have Sacrament Meeting (since it's last), but then they ended up canceling the whole meeting because it kept snowing and the wind kept blowing and they couldn't get the parking lots cleared out (it finally stopped around 11). I wish we had found out a little sooner though because we have church at 9 a.m. and I already had everyone up and dressed before we got word about the cancellation. Since we only live about 1 1/2 blocks from the church it seems pretty strange to have it canceled. My parents' stake also canceled church meetings today.
DH has been outside for over an hour now trying to get our driveway & sidewalks cleared - it is over 2 feet deep in some places so I'm not sure if we could have even made it out of our driveway in our cars. DH got a snowblower for Christmas and in some places it is higher than the top of the snowblower.
Since the wind was blowing so much there are huge snowdrifts in some areas and in other areas the ground is almost bare. In this picture of our swingset you can see almost bare ground over near our neighbor's house, but our swingset & back porch are completely covered with snow.
In this picture you can see bare patches of ground on our back lawn and then you can see the snow covering over half of our 6 ft tall fence.
