Yeah

Be stoked.

No school fellas

"Sr. Catherine Kamphaus, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, in consultation with the National Weather Service, has recommended that all schools close tomorrow, Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Therefore, all entities of the Skaggs Catholic Center - Guardian Angel Daycare, Saint John the Baptist Elementary, Saint John the Baptist Middle School and Juan Diego Catholic High School - will be closed tomorrow.

Please also note that all PARA basketball practices for both today and tomorrow are canceled."

From KSL:

SALT LAKE CITY -- A blizzard is expected to hit Utah later today, just in time for one of the biggest travel days of the year.

The latest estimate from the National Weather Service predicts the storm front will reach Ogden between 4:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. and Salt Lake City between 5:30 p.m and 6:00 p.m. High winds are possible even before the front hits.

Meteorologists say the 3 to 6 inches of snow anticipated in the valleys is not the problem -- it's the combination of snow, extreme cold and possibly damaging winds.

Glen Merrill, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Salt Lake, said, "This will far surpass anything that we've seen, probably for the last several years."

Pleasant Suprise

So today I got home from school at 12:30 and went outside to work on my summer jib. I'm out there standing on top of this 6 foot tower nailing carpet to it when I get a call from somebody. I fumble around in my pockets and pull out my phone. It's Mac.
"What's up dude?"
"Hey did you hear the news?"
"What news?"
"Snowbird's opening this Saturday!"
Hell yes! I was stoked out of my mind. I had to run inside and look on Snowbird's website to make sure it was all true. It was! It's been over 5 months since I last skied on June 2nd. This has been killing me. But that shit's over now. I'm set for at least the next 6 months. The rest of the moGNARchy is so stoked too. You know that we'll be rounding up the Royal Family to officially kick of the 2010/2011 season. No one's gonna stop us now!

P.S. Here's what Snowbird looks like at the exact moment I'm writing this.
