if it were truly alpine, they'd be used to copious amounts of snow

I cleared 12” this morning. Now just finished clearing another 6” so my wife could get out. Now round 3 is falling!
Is this next storm going to actually hit or be a dud?
There are whiteout conditions in Logan. Everything is getting covered.

I'm starting to think rockgremlin lives is some strange microclimate that blocks all incoming moisture from his driveway.
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.
What I find interesting is that there is this notion that the weather becomes more severe the further north you go. Weber County typically gets more precip than Washington County. But this winter is proving that theory to be false.
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.
Today on NPR they said not to be fooled by this cold, wet winter. The rest of the planet is cooking like an oven...like the Southern Hemisphere where it’s uhhh...summer.
They also declared that we’re less than 100 years away from a weather related Global Mass Extinction.
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”.
... and uhhh ... the hottest summer on record for australia

whooaaaa-data since 1910
And to my very un scientific eye, it would appear a larger percentage of that "data" is somewhat chilly...
