How About the Snow?

With all of the snow this winter, you may have wondered how much has really fallen. The average snowfall in Cache Valley for the month of January is around 12 inches. In January 2008 there was a total of 27 inches of snow, over half of the average. January 2007 saw only 6 inches, so that is a big change over what many of us are used to. The record for the month of January was set in 1949 with over 43 inches of snow.

The good news is that all of the snow will bring needed water. The snowpack in the mountains is around 98% of average, and this snow season has already seen 10 inches more snow than all of last year.
