California vs. Utah snow

A few days ago, I got that message from Mike, a friend of mine who lives near Mammoth Mountain, in California: “I hope this storm hits you we got a ton of snow out of it and more coming this week, top now has 70 inches..”

I responded: “We've got some, but certainly not 70 inches. In Utah, the Mormon Church is taking a HUGE cut our of our precipitations”.

Well, as some of you may know, my reply wasn't so far fetched. Not only do the Mormons interfere daily in our State government, by being oblivious about the separation of church and state, but they like to put their fingers everywhere they can.

For instance, you may know that in Utah, we have what's called “The Greatest Snow on Earth”.

I gave the scientific explanation for that remarkable feature six years ago in that blog, but in retrospect, I suspect that being so good with magic and supra-natural phenomenons, the Mormon Church actually got some contract to purifies the snow that gets into Utah from California, by drying it up so much that it eventually becomes the greatest on earth.

They probably get some money out of doing this, since they're the best at separating people from their money, so it must be the same between the heavy California snow (aka Sierra Cement) and the moisture they get out of it.

What do they do with the left-overs? Three point two degree beer and of course they sell and ship the rest of the snow to nearby Colorado...
