Utah Snow

Utah's Snowbird Resort got 46 inches of snow last week and opened 07NOV, the 2nd earliest on record. Expected snow did not materialize last night. The USDA NRCS Snowbird SNOTEL shows the snow is shrinking fast--15.7 inches measured. Even the official Snowbird snow report shows half of the snow is left: 23 inches vs. 46 original. It will be interesting to see if Snowbird can now STAY open! The SLC NWS Area Forecast Discussion has already backed off on snow forecast for today--looks like the bulk of the system is going to hit the Four Corners.
