Let it Snow?

I'd like you to note the date. That's right, May 24th. It's basically summer. It's time for bonfires and camp outs, vacations and outings. But mother nature still has a few tricks up her sleeve. This morning I woke up to this:

Not too bad, you say? That's what I thought. It was inconvenient, but not too bad. Nothing we haven't seen before. I'm sure you all know that Utah has eight seasons. Winter, Sprinter, Spring, Sprummer, Summer, Fummer, Fall, and Finter.

After I cleaned off my windshield I paused to take this picture of the already accumulating snow. The snow was very wet and heavy. It took a little bit longer then usual to drive to the MTC, but I made it to the office just in time to open the window. Kari, on the other hand was late. I felt bad for her, and hoped she'd found a ride or something. At ten after Caroline and I started to worry. Kari usually called if she was going to be late. I'm not sure what we thought happened to her, but we were relieved when she finally walked through the door. She was covered in slush and soaked right through. It took her at least half the day to dry off. Well, it didn't take long before the radio started crackling with work orders about broken branches. The most notable was the tree by the mail room that had been completely uprooted.

This is a picture of it after they had cut some of the branches off.

This is the view from the entrance. It was a close call. Another few feet and it would have hit the building.

The poor flowers were looking so happy until this morning. Now they look downright depressed.

These are some branches from another tree by the mail room.

It pulled the grass up with the roots. All in all, it was pretty exciting.
