It's Snowing!!!!
UT sucks....stupid early season snow, hopefully gets warm and melts most of it off before we get anything else so we don't have that lovely layer of ice for a base of 8 feet of snow this winter.
Oh well...snow is snow!!
.AN UNSEASONABLY COLD PACIFIC SYSTEM HAS ENTERED THE REGION. A ROBUST
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN UTAH THROUGH THIS MORNING. SNOW
LEVELS ARE RAPIDLY FALLING BEHIND THE FRONT... AND THIS WILL BRING THE
FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOW STORM OF THE SEASON TO THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS ABOVE 8000 FEET.
