Well, after seeing all the Midwest snow pictures we couldn't hold out any longer. Took a trip up to Flagstaff after what we thought was a Sunday storm. Turns out the storm missed the city, but created white-out conditions on the freeway to the east and caused something on the order of a 100+ car pile up.
There wasn't much left at lower elevations. This was at a sled run operated by the park service. The conditions were packed, icy snow and fairly steep hills. Both boys hurt their backs on one of their first runs...
Karen lost her shoes, and if you look closely you can see one flying in the air in this shot. She ended up with a nice ice burn - kind of like a carpet burn - on one heel. I scraped two knuckles on my run and we decided that it was maybe too icy to continue, so we found some much smaller slopes. Turns out this was the last day they were going to be open for the year.
At least when we got tired of the snow and cold we could go back home to upper 70's and spring flowers. Now we're creeping into the 90's, so that means summer is around the corner for us!
