Yesterday We Drove though a Blizzard

Not the best idea. 
It was snowy all day. The kind that is thick and it tells you that winter is here to stay.
Andrew and I were meeting my parents at Ikea.
They were coming from the north and we were coming from the south. 
When we left there was a break in the storm and the clouds were clearing.
But when we got to Lehi that was a completely different story! 
It was a full on blizzard. Viability was about 500 yards (that's what my phone said but I think less).
We saw a truck start to slide into another lane. 
We even did a little ourselves which was terrifying knowing that you have no control.  

I was shaking! The heater was on full blast but I was terrified! 
How in the world did this happen? Why were we driving? 
Nothing at Ikea was worth this. 

We wanted to get off at an exit but the next exit available was the one right before Ikea. 
Might as well go to Ikea. 
We braved the storm and we made it.
I was praying so hard. 

The Ikea parking lot was basically empty. 
For obvious reasons. 

This is the best picture I have of the storm and the picture does not do it justice. 
It was much worse than what this picture portrays, but it gives a good idea.

We got parts of an entertainment center.
They were out of certain pieces. Even if some where in the store they wouldn't get it down
off the high shelves. Ok then... We risked our lives for this? 

Loading up our enteriainment center pieces. 
We'll be back this weekend. 
Haha. 

That's our blizzard story.
Don't do it.
A blizzard is much more enjoyable in a warm house 
watching it from your windows with apple cider. 

When we left the storm had cleared but that was after spending
three and a half hours at Ikea. At least it was warm,
