Now we just need Uintahfly to say some more prayers that Mother Nature doesn't spring a warmer than average March on us and everything melts too quickly and all at once.

Another storm is blowing in...maybe.
I can report that it is here. Skiing was delightful this afternoon.

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.
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!
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.

Queue the Debbie Downers to come out and remind us all that "we're gonna need 5 more winters like this to happen consecutively to pull us out of this crippling, ongoing drought we're experiencing."

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.
