October 11 2008

I know most have you heard about it, but here is my story about Saturday October 11, 2008


It had been so nice in Burley up to that point and for some reason it was freezing that week. There was talk of a snow storm coming our way. Matt moved to Burley that weekend. He loaded stuff in his truck. His dad told him not to wait, just get on the road. Well he makes it with out a problem. It is still freezing and he keeps saying it is supposed to be warmer here!

The next morning, which was Saturday we wake up to snow. Not just a little skiff of snow, there was a lot of snow.

Patrick had Saturday school so I bring him and everywhere I drive I am burried. It is snowing so think and fast. It was snowing like it did on Christmas eve last year. We are thinking that in time this snow will stop so we go get breakfast and plan to go to Twin Falls. We got on the freeway and it is horrible. You cannot see and there is traffic bumper to bumper and we are all going 35 MPH. So we get off at the next exit and go home. It snowed this way throught the night and into the morning. There were 15 to 18 inched (the amount depended on where you were) of snow that fell that day. By the end of the week we were having 70 degree weather and the snow had all melted and we have not had any snow since then. It was a little crazy.

We were told that Burley will get freak storms like that or drop into a really cold temp for a few days then back to mild temps and nice weather. It was a little weird.
