A short and sweet hike to get some time with the homies and enjoy the fall colors before they’re covered in snow for the next few months. I don’t have much to report here except that the overlooks were fantastic, the inclines were very manageable, and the planning could have been a lot better (we may have finished the last mile with headlamps on).
Beautiful hike, great company, and delicious beer in Ogden to cap it all off.
More SLC gifting results... record snowfall in Utah!
Utah’s record-breaking snowfall continued to pile up Tuesday as the Wasatch Front and other parts of Utah endured another storm that could linger through midweek...
“Snow will linger through late Tuesday evening and early Wednesday as we see some lake effect kick in,” KSL chief meteorologist Kevin Eubank said. “This storm is moisture-rich, which means snow totals will be near 12 inches on the valley floor and up to 18 inches on the benches. Mountains will see 2 to 3 feet of snow, with dangerous road conditions and elevated avalanche danger.”
The statewide average reached 29 inches of snow water equivalent Tuesday morning, surpassing the previous record of 28.8 inches set during the 1951-52 snow season, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service. It’s since grown to 29.4 inches of water, as of Tuesday afternoon.
The 30-year normal is 15.8 inches, while Utah’s snowpack only maxed out at 12 inches last year...
