We got about an inch last night, but it is all gone by now. It melts pretty quick in the spring.

/me returns from surgery-induced absence to see that JA is posting again.

I'm still around if you're bringing back Southern Ops. I'm also fine with switching to 4E.

The latest I have seen snow here is April. I am to understand that farmes love it becaus it helps alot with the winter wheat crops.

I've seen snow into June here before, but it is extremely unusual. Usually we don't get snow after April. I can remember one year, many years ago, actually going up to the mountains and skiing for the 4th of July. It takes an extreme snow pack for even the snow in the mountains to last that long, though.

We don't really get too much snow here once spring officially starts. This year was pretty light though, I think I only had to break out the shovel 3 times? Definitely under 5. It was fairly mild. That helped balance the city's budget glad we can count on mother nature saving our administrator's butts.

Well, Utah is awfully mountainous, isn't it Rhun?

We had a fairly mild winter as well. December was cold, but Jan/Feb were pretty nice, with rain in the valley and snow in the mountains (which is ideal). I'm sure we saved some money in the snow removal/prevention budget, but unfortunately we are only at about 75-80% of our average snow pack. We've got a couple of storms to hit here in the next week or two though, so hopefully that will bump us up closer to average.

Yes, very mountainous. I believe our mean elevation is about 6100 feet.

6100+ feet does, indeed, sound just pretty MEAN to me!
