Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Utah.......and western USA snow

I wish y'all would send some of that south and east!

None of the leftover AZ storms hitting your area ?

Flagstaff & northern AZ are digging out too

Then off course the PHX east valley flooding

We got more snow last night and are under a winter storm warning again. Snow all next week.

Springtime in the mountains…

tikka, we've only had one decent storm, all year.
It left decent moisture, but overall, we're very dry - all the way from Santa Fe to Raton.

We need a hurricane off the gulf to bring some rain here, we are dry --dry--dry. Rio7

The Salt Lake City weather guy just said that there's a strong likelihood that Alta ski resort will top 800 inches of snow this year. They are already over 700 and they measure through April there. That's just their ski season - they quit measuring when they stop skiing. More snow after that is quite possible.

I've had 4.5" of rain equivalent from snow so far this month, and yesterday's 6" accumulation hasn't started melting yet. With snow and rain forecast all next week again, I'll likely see almost 6" of rain/water just this month. That is HUGE for here.

Brighton is the winner so far.......765" with of course more coming......800" isn't far off

Today here.......dry/cold/windy & a high of 30*

Our annual precipitation only is 9-10"

MEGA winter for all the MAGA Utahans

that isnt stopping the liberals here in the east ,claiming all your snow is being caused by man made global warming and climite change ,and we need to ban things and tax us more to pay to fix it

Recieved an inch last night, and snowing steady at the moment! This should put over 12 ft on the ground at Crater Lake. We need the water, so come on down!

Not 100% true. California is the lone holdout in signing the agreement that the other states in the Colorado Compact have agreed to, but they have proffered their own plan to cut back their use by 9% per yer until 2026. And the reason for that is, California has some of the most senior water rights in the Colorado Compact, so legally speaking they are entitled to their allotment before the other states take theirs and if it goes to court, they have that advantage. If any of the other states had senior water rights, they would likely use it to their advantage like California is doing.

Not saying it's right, but there it is.

Screw 'em, we'll take the water. I get the feeling that if the west started getting more water they'd want to punish us for it.

I know that many will disagree with me….but, I wish we could get this every year. Our area is one of the driest in Wyoming. I know that the moisture causes it’s share of problems on agriculture, livestock, wildlife…but we’ve had many years of below average precipitation…..and our average is under 6”/annual!

I’d love to see this d@#m Greasewood replaced by Palmetto! memtb

Not comparable to Powell, but Lake Raystown was expected to take years to fill.
Build for flood control and recreation, it did its job in style.

Just months after being partially completed, Hurricane Agnes hit.
In a couple days it caught 160,000 acre feet of water and prevented
60 million in 1972 dollars in damage.
It's estimated that without the dam the flooding would have exceeded
the historic records.

Sure it's smaller, but it is scalable.

Ah, could you please elaborate? Screw who, who is "us," and who would want to "punish us for it?"

Yesterday in the desert.

That looks cold Sam.

Hey man, we're patiently waiting for spring!

It'll be hotter than hell here in no time. I'm in no hurry.

A late spring does indeed have benefits.

Why in the [bleep] would anyone want to visit Mitt Romney s state
