I've lived in Utah 18 years now and I've never heard this much hype for an upcoming storm. My kids are getting out of school early, the news is suggesting that employers let their employees go home early and yesterday at work dispatch opened the mike at all stations to give a weather warning. I know we've had high winds and low temps before, what makes this one special?

all my afternoon meetings were canceled and they're letting us off work early to get home and hunker down for this "mother of all winter storms" and say goodbye to our families and prepare our wills. Originally Posted by zion zig zag

The hype is beyond annoying.

Using it as an excuse to get my nice truck off the roads by 4 before things freeze and the wonderful drivers here crash into me. Originally Posted by zion zig zag

I think the wind is what they are most worried about since it will blow the snow all over the road and then super temp drop. Ice road truckers then begins.....

If they grew up in Wyoming this would be a normal winter day, not a "life threatening storm"

A critical mass of east coasters must have finally moved in. You'll find them all at the grocery store buying month-long supplies of milk, eggs, toilet paper and diapers. Originally Posted by zion zig zag

I hate you guys and your wintery goodness. Better be some good photos when this one's all said and done.

Well all the Mormans already have their emergency supplies so that only leaves the new EC/snowhound immigrants to be at the grocery store anyways. Originally Posted by ski_adk

Didn't see any avalanches today, but it sounds like 1945 Dresden up here in PC this afternoon so the avy control work must be producing some results.

Just got 3 urgent spam emails from KSL pointing to their Storm Coverage Web Page: http://www.ksl.com/?sid=13386283&nid=165
They are calling it "The Blizzard of 2010".
What if there's a bigger blizzard in December?

Yesterday
Sunday and Monday was skiing pretty deep... Spent all day both days witnessing the weather in the Silver Fork area. On Sunday a skier ski cut a 40 degree slope and it broke 30 feet above him propagating 40 feet wide 10 inches deep and went about 200 feet. On Monday we saw a decent sized natural under the cornices on the North facing ridges of West Bowl, nothing was active as we skied all day on the East faces of WB. Here's a coupla shots of Zach proving that yesterday was indeed "blower".
