Utah is having it’s warmest winter on record, which isn’t great. But, right now, Utah has a Winter Storm Warning in effect and the Cottonwood Canyons are expecting 10-20 inches of new snow, which is nice.
It’s been so warm and dry in Utah, that NOAA Salt Lake City even got a little snarky with their latest Facebook post:
For the first time since December, many of you will see big orange trucks on the northern Utah area roadways. They are called snow plows. For snow amounts see attached image. – NOAA Salt Lake City, UT
Alta has gotten 218″ of snow this winter.
