Welcome to Snowy Fork, Utah...population 31,500!

You may have heard of South Fork, American Fork, and even Spanish Fork, but I bet you didn't know about the little town nestled in the east canyon bench of Snowy Fork, Utah. We don't attract a lot of attention from the local weather stations and oftentimes receive no warnings of precipitous storms like the one we encountered on Tuesday, December 21st. We woke up on that pre-Christmas morning to a couple feet of this:



While the rest of Utah County often laments their misfortune of accumulating trace amounts of snow on the valley floor, we get hit with mini polar blasts that mimic the frozen tundras of national geographic.





The one highlight to our winter storms is the good-looking clean-up crew we can always count on. Ranging in size from 3' to 5'8", they are quick to clear driveways and scrape menacing ice from pathways.



Thanks to our hardworking team of snowblowers and shovelers, I was able to make it to work that day, thus saving myself one whole day of maternity leave. Thank you, team! Mrs. Claus takes note of your service with a smile!
