Here we are in Iceland not far from the North Pole. Last Sunday we went to Church in the snow and by the time it was over we had 24" of snow. I taught a lesson in our joint Priesthood/Relief Society meeting on service and it worked out great because the YM had an opportunity to serve digging around all the cars so the members could get into them. With that much snow and no snow plows out it was difficult to get home and by the time we got to our parking place the car could not push anymore snow. I had to dig out the 24" of snow in our parking place and out from under the car so I could get it parked. For the next several days it just kept blowing and twice a day I had to dig out our walk way until I had a 6' pile of snow.
Yesterday it started warming up and melted much of the snow. Today it was 42 degrees and there isn´t much more than ice left. December in Iceland - 42 degrees and no snow - who would believe!

Yuck!!!! I really hate snow. Cold is not as bad as cold and snow!
Well we didn't get any snow at church but also didn't have any heat -(At least not in the chapel. The furnace was broken and it was very cold. And, whoever in Austin read your comments and though, "wow, I'm so glad that isn't us" should be educated about karma b/c we have a large storm coming Tuesday and Wednesday and are currently under a blizzard watch.
So, we'll be thinking about you shovleing in your Sunday clothes are we freeze and shovel on Wednesday. We're glad you made it home safely!
