Another Olympics in Salt Lake?

For a while, Utah officials have been studying the possibility of Salt Lake City making a bid to host another Winter Olympics like in 2030, or even in 2026, should no one bid for these games.

It's also true that Denver and Reno have both expressed interest, as well as other cities like Sion, Switzerland; Calgary, Canada; and Sapporo, Japan.

Fourteen years ago, early February, Salt Lake and Park City were getting ready to welcome the world with a much colder weather and much, much more snow.

This leads me to say that if Salt Lake is ready for an Olympic encore, it better get going sooner than later, while our local resorts still can make snow.

Based on this year temperatures and precipitations, another Olympic Games in Utah, seems more than ever a big stretch.

Unless, of course, Trump decide to nuke Norh Korea, puts an end to these pesky climate warming rumors and precipitates a propitious nuclear winter!
