14 inches on December 15, 2021, the largest single day at a NOAA weather station 4.2 miles away in 7 winters. The snowiest winter was 2022 to 2023, with 107.1 inches.

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.
