Well, don’t drive your car and save on C02 emissions then. [emoji6]Quote:

Sadly this has been my view for 45 minutes. I think I may be here a while.

Snow Day! School has been cancelled for our kids and that’s a first ever. My daughter had a field trip to go downtown. It’s an absolute mess out there. 12-14” across the valley.
Tell your kids about the "make up day" they will have to sit through on a warm, bright, spring day... thst always makes them happy.Quote:

I was not really surprised to see the difference in weather coming into work this morning. SLC has what looks like 6+ inches right now (7:40am), and yet there's barely a skiff in Ogden. A quarter of an inch, maybe. Ogden kids are reporting to school just like any other day. :roll:
That groundhog is a lying bastard!

Brigham got a skiff. Nothing to report here.
Sounds like salt lake county and tooele county got hit the hardest. David and north didn’t get more than 3” top.
On the plus side, Alta received more than 40” in the past 30 hours!

Just heard on KSL that since Sunday evening, Brighton summit received over 5 feet of snow from this storm. Impressive!
Sweet - love it!Quote:

Northern Utah County is being hit hard. Half of our office staff not able to get in. My wife works in Alpine and we live by the AF Hospital. It took her 25 minutes to get to her office. She said it was the worst commute she's had in the 15 years she's been there. Alpine School District still open. On social media, parents are furious. If this isn't justification for a snow day I don't know what is. I guess ASD isn't really about "safety first".
My view of the world has changed greatly in the past week. A couple pictures from today and a couple from a ago week.

I'm now a bit over 2' of snow on the homestead and its still coming down hard in South Jordan!
At my new teacher orientation for Granite School District this summer they swore up and down that they would NEVER call a snow day. No less than four big wigs for the district reiterated this, as well as my principal. No matter the conditions, they swore that schools would open due to the large amount of low-income students and serving a large area.
Today is my first snow day EVER. I didn't think they existed in Utah. The last time GSD called a snow day was in 1993.
Unfortunately school now ends May 24th instead of on the 23rd.
I had a feeling this storm was gonna be a doozy. Left my house at 4:10 this morning and pulled into Alta just before 5:30. LCC was full white knuckled driving. The mood in the GMD went from excitement when they announced the road closed for the day to extreme worry as the time ticked by and it was looking like they may not open. But once the lifties brought out the gates life got better. Interlodge lifted just after 11 and full country club powder was on. Deepest snow I ever remember skiing and top 3 day all time. Probably the best actually.
Now I pray the road opens for me to get home.
if it were truly alpine, they'd be used to copious amounts of snowQuote:

Is this next storm going to actually hit or be a dud?
A foot or so last night in the cottonwoods. The wind was absolutely nuking up there today, but when I left at about 3, not much new snow yet.Quote:

It was a dud at my place (as usual). We got a maximum of 0.5" :becca:Quote:

We are building a new house right now, our current house has a North facing driveway and I hate when it snows. Ours is always the last to melt off because it's in the shade. We were going to settle on a South facing house but figured we wanted shade in the back yard in the evening, so we went for a West facing house.
Even when it snows an inch, when you think you can just leave it and it will melt in an hour, nope, it stays for days.
If Rockgremlin is feeling cheated about not getting any snow he is welcome to come over to my house and I'll hand him a shovel. Draper has been getting pounded like a cheap porn star.

Even the distance between Weber County and Salt Lake County can be pretty drastic -- a good example of that was the "huge" storm just recently that dropped 12" - 18" in South Jordan and Draper, but my driveway was bone dry that same day.
These anomalies and disparities that occur so close together I find interesting.

The local anomalies have to do with the lake effect and the direction the storm rolls over the Great Salt Lake. It's not uncommon for Sandy to get 12" and Draper only a trace and vice-versa because of the lake effect.
Anybody getting snow? I hear it’s going crazy down south.
I’m In Nashville and they’ve had buckets and buckets of rain here all week. 90-100% nonstop rain since I’ve been here. Two more inches and it will be a new record.
Global warming...Quote:

Here in Hawaii it’s as green as I’ve ever seen it. Plenty of rain this winter but the locals say it’s not “unusual”.
Well, we are in an established El Niño pattern currently (what they call the Pineapple Express) and February has been warmer than average...so yea, the planet is warmer.Quote:
