Snow Storm Pounds Utah; Have a Great Week Outdoor Retailer Exhibitors & Attendees
I haven’t seen a weather report yet, but last night’s snow storm pounded the greater Salt Lake City area.
When Allisha and I got back around 10:30 p.m. last night after attending the 11th annual Bicycle Leadership Conference in San Diego, it was a warm 34 degrees in Sandy, Utah and most of the snow had melted from our front lawn. Not any more.
That’s me below taking a break from shoveling what I estimate to be 14- to 16-inches of fluffy lake effect snow that had fallen overnight and was still falling when this picture was taken at 11 a.m. earlier today. Amazing! (Final tally probably hit 18- to 20-inches. FYI: We’re at an elevation of approximately 4,800 feet above sea level.)

This is probably the worst (or best depending upon your preference) single snowfall we’ve had at our house in the 10+ years we’ve lived here.
So for any of you out-of-towners planning to attend the 2008 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market and Backcountry Base Camp this week in Utah (Jan. 22-26), bring your mukluks and snow boots, ’cause you’re probably gonna need ‘em.
