In Salt Lake we got a dusting 2 days ago but can already see the grass peeking through in the front yard. But the ski resorts have quite a bit and very busy.
Just the way I like my snow, great for the skiers and not enough for me to shovel.

1" a lot of snow????

I think not. 1 inch an hour for 12 to 15 hours is alot. Otherwise it's just an inconvenance.

Tim,
You got to remember, Jake is in New Orleans. I remember when I lived in Biloxi, MS, it snowed one day, melted before it hit the ground, and they still closed the schools.
Moved to Duluth, MN, Chicapee Falls, MA, Great Falls, MT and now Salt Lake so have actually seen a little snow.

Phil, I know that, I was just being a butthead.
I was driving in the snowstorm that hit the IN, OH, KY area the other day. 6 hours to drive my semi from Indy to Dayton. Dayton got over 16 inches in less than 24 Hours.
Up here it takes more than 8 inches or so at a time before they close most of the schools. When I lived in VA Beach, Va they would close down the whole town after less that 2 inches. Even so far as giving tickets to anyone out on the roads.

I'm kinda glad we did not get a heavy snow. As it is, it will be stuck to the roof for a day or so and our homes are not built for the weight. Although, I don't think this will hurt in the least. Man the mosquitoes are finially DEAD!

I lived in the Norfolk/Va Beach area from 1981-1984, and 1987-1993. I was in the Navy homeported out of NOB Norfolk during that time. We used to go to Langley from time to time to watch the races at the NASCAR track there.

Hey, I'm originally from Great FallsBig Smile [:D] Never had a lot of snow, we used to joke that because the wind blows so hard, that when the snows starts to fall in Great Falls, it actually lands in Chicago.

Here in the midwest, it was a brown, yet very cold Christmas. Made a great day to curl up at the building table.
