- Snowiest winter 2022 to 2023, 34 in
- 6 in mornings 0 a winter
- 1 in mornings 5.1 a winter
Measured at a NOAA weather station 3.6 miles away. Mornings are the 7 am snow reading on a weekday from December 1 through March 31, over the ten winters from 2016 to 2017 through 2025 to 2026, from NOAA GHCN Daily.
How Utah counts a lost day
Utah requires at least 180 school days of educational services. No fixed count; a district that closes for snow and would fall short of 180 days can ask the State Superintendent for a waiver, granted without Board approval if it built contingency days into its calendar.
