I'm from a tropical country. It's hot 365 days a year, with an average temperature of 32C or 90F year round . There's no such thing as snow in my country. Sometimes we all wish for snow. But after seeing this snow and ice and the mess, we count our blessings.

For comparison purposes, Buffalo, NY had three blizzards this year, which totaled about 100 inches of snow. In the mountains of western Pennsylvania in the 1950s, when I was a boy, we routinely had 200 inches of snow each winter. The difference between the two is elevation. Brighton, Utah has a base elevation of 8,755 feet -- on a par with Aspen, Colorado. At those altitudes, extreme weather is common. Even so, 500 inches of snow makes for a long, inconvenient winter.

There were signs warning people not to climb up them because the power lines drooped in the middle and were inside the snow banks. Two storey homes has snow drifts right up to their soffits. The sides of roads were taller than the roofs of city buses.

@@TonicofSonic Again, they are saying 500 inches of snowfall. I can do the math I'm an engineer. You obviously don't ski or snowboard. Look up recent snowfalls in the Utah ski areas. Snow is sometimes looked at on water equivalent. Utah snow is very light and lots of inches of snow per inch of water (20 to 40 inches sometime of snow that would melt to 1 inch of water). Snow on the west coast is called west coast cement has often 8 to 15 inches of snow per inch of water. So please understand the snow does pack out and actually melts from time to time. I have seen ski areas with lines on the tower near the top saying snow depth by year and trenches dug out of the snow so they could run the lift. So if you keep thinking that 500 inches of snow is impossible then please do a little research.

you folks who doubt the 500" total FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON SO FAR no little or nothing about snowfall...Mammoth Mt and Palisades Tahoe in California both have recorded about the same amount. Even in cold weather the snow melts and compacts...do your research...there are a number of locations that have received over 400" since last Nov. 1.

ahh the good ole days ... I miss that much snow ... last time we had that up here was 1973 ... but man the front walk patio snow forts were amazing ... chairs tables tv's sofas ... lights ... carpets even ... you name it people made a snow fort and used the space ... or sending the youngest kid who can shovel out a window so they can dig out the shovel by the back door so they can dig out the back door from inside while you make a path down to the door from the outside ... yeah them was fun days ... I do so miss them ... kids these days go to school online so ... getting snowed in cant happen anymore ... poor buggers LOL ;)

An amazing 1,140 inches (95 feet) was recorded at Mount Baker Ski Area (4,200 feet elevation) in Washington during the July 1, 1998, to June 30, 1999, snow season. That's the most snowfall recorded in a season for any location in the U.S., according to NOAA.
