All the northern Utah skiers just got a fantastic early Christmas present: a storm that totally over-delivered. It started snowing Sunday evening 12/11/22 and literally - literally - did not stop snowing until Thursday afternoon 12/15. We got about a foot total at our house; since this was spread out over 4.5 days, the commutes weren't too terrible, with Thursday being the worst for me (Monday was worse for folks who take I-15 and who were coming down from Davis County, I heard).
The mountains did very, very well for themselves out of this storm. Alta ended up with 71+ inches storm-total, 225 inches season to-date and a base of 83 inches. That's fantastic and puts them in good shape for the upcoming circus that is Christmas vacation week. And statewide, the snowpack is looking pretty healthy in general. If we don't get a long dry spell (which seems to happen mid-winters of late), we might not have such a water deficit come springtime. I mean, we won't be out of the drought but we'll be in better shape for sure.
