This morning my Mom and I got up all nice and early to hop in line at the Disney Store to grab limited edition Frozen dolls (more on that tomorrow). Yes, there was a line before the store even opened. And no, I didn't mind a bit. We had nice conversations with the people we sat next to, and found creative ways to answer mall pass-by-ers why we we're there in the first place. Dolls. Dolls are cool! And guys were in the line, too, but mainly as a favor for their wives.
It was amusing watching all the people who come to the mall early to walk laps. Sounds like a fantastic idea, really. The mall opens its doors at 8 am, but the stores open up at 10, so 2 hours of temperature controlled walking without the temptation of buying, unless you're there past 10, of course.
But on the way to the mall just before 9 the weather was nice and pleasant. Cold enough to need boots and a coat, but nice. No hint of any weather changes to worry about.
When the morning excitement at the mall ended, dolls claimed, we headed to the exit doors only to be greeted by white. A full on blizzard in the works! And all the mall guests getting ready to exit, horror struck.
So glad I wore a coat and not a sweater, which almost happened!
Even my phone didn't get the blizzard message.
I know the East Coast has been super hard hit this year. Hasn't Boston received somewhere around 20 feet of snow? But here in Utah it's been abnormally warm. February 2015 is officially the warmest month in recorded history. Several sweater days that felt like early October.
But now it's all melted, and you would never know there was a snow storm this morning, unless you look at the mountains which are gorgeously dusted with snow. The sunset this evening was so beautiful.
