Remembering Thanksgiving week in Houston and comparing to the approaching storm here

Last year I was in Houston for Thanksgiving. Jenny's baby came early, so I was a couple of weeks late getting there to help. I loved spending time with my Houston families! While I was there, something unheard of happened! SNOW! They closed everything. They cancelled the tree lighting ceremony. I thought it was hilarious how they over reacted to a little snow storm. Jason and I went to the store and no one was there! Some stores were closed, but the ones that were open were pretty empty. Well, the grocery stores were flooded with people stocking up for the storm.
Well, this year I'm here in Utah, and guess what? Another snow storm is expected tonight and everything is shutting down! Here! They called and cancelled our sealing session at the temple tonight. I hurried and went to an afternoon session and as I left heard they'll be closing the temple at 3:00 and not opening tomorrow!! So I went to the grocery store on the way home and....yup is was flooded with people stocking up! My checker said that it had been that way all day, ever since the news said a storm was coming. So I must apoligize to Houston and admit that if we get that crazy about a snow storm, they are certainly justified in doing the same!!

  1. I just thought it was funny that none of it even stuck at our house!

  2. This last snow storm didn't amount to much at our house...I thought Saturday night's snow storm was worse!
