An factual winter summary

The website Opensnow.com provide some interesting stats about winter snow cover and help us keep our memories straight.

As many know, this past November, December and January were some of the worst months on record since at least 40 years, until February 19. I've attached the graph related to Park City snow accumulation.

• The dark blue line is the average of seasons 1989 through 2010.
• The green line is this past 2017-18 winter; it's easy to see that we were well below average, peaking just under 70% of our normal peak annual snow-pack. 
• The light blue line is 2011-12 season, another dismal snow-season. Both had slow starts, then made modest comebacks. 
• The red line is 2014-2015 season that had the distinction of being the worst Utah season since at least 1976-77. 

 I had almost forgotten about it, which goes to show how fast our memory plays tricks on us, absent some written statistics!
