Stop the snow, Stop the snow, Stop the snow

The snow was lovely as it fell the first couple of nights. The snow is still lovely to look at and enjoy.... however sometimes the snow isn't good for the roads.
We went over to Hazen and Annette's place to watch some of the BYU game (go cougars), and then we headed over to their ward christmas party. First off on the way to their house we had to drive up a small slope, and there were people crossing the road so we had to idle up a slippery slope and we barely had enough traction to get up the hill. Then on the way to their church I fishtailed a bit and slid trying to turn left. Worst of it came on the way home from there, we were driving down a different hill (which wasn't even super steep ) going very slow aware that the roads were bad. I was tapping the brakes with little to no success and then we started to fishtail pretty bad, finally I gave up trying to stay straight and let myself flip around a doing a complete 180. We ended up slamming into the sidewalk just missing the car in front of us. The winters are long after all.

Hello...You had a scarey day. I think you should just stay home tomorrow. It was scarey snow at our house today, too. I will post pictures soon. At least the snow was pretty...

It's a good thing there aren't a lot of hills in Logan then, because otherwise you would be in for a long winter. ;)
