Freak Snow Fall

So if you are from around here, you know that there was a freak snowstorm last weekend. Well, it just so happens that My mom and my sisters and sis-in-law and Grandma were planning to have a girls' trip down to Twin Falls to go shopping and have fun with my sis and aunt that live down there. Well, needless to say, we had to turn around and come back. It was a blizzard! My mom said that she hadn't driven on such awful roads in a long time! (Thankfully she had 4-wheel-drive) There was seriously like 6 inches or more of snow on the ground and it was still coming! Well, the bad thing, was that when we turned around and started heading home, we ended up getting stuck on the Freeway for like two hours! We had passed a bunch of cars that had slid off the freeway, but this one was a big two trailer semi that had crashed and actually had started on fire. It was ridiculous. Luckily the guy was okay. I actually thought it was kind of fun to sit in the car and chat. We still went shopping in Pocatello that day too, and ate at Texas Roadhouse. yum. Its funny, the next night I saw on CNN that they had pictures from Heyburn, Idaho, (about where we were) and said that they hadn't had that much snowfall so early Ever! (since they started taking records in the 1800s) Whoa. I got some funny videos, unfortunately they are on my phone and don't work on here, but here are just a couple of pics.

Us stuck on the freeway- do you see the burning truck up there?

The next day at home- Is it Christmas?
