This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, for heavens sake, send some of that to us here in Interior Alaska! We got an additional inch I think, but still are far below our average for this time of the winter. Only about 8 total, when we should have had over 3 ft! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, +10 degrees and we actually gain 1 minute of daylight today! A Yesterday, Cedar City ( ( 2 and 1/2 hrs N of Las Vegas ) recieved 20 inch's of beautiful white stuff.

At 6500 ft. elevation, we are considered a Mountian Town, but Cedar City is at the base of the mountian, so usually lots of snow to LOOK AT, not play in. Last year this week, I started fitting Fjords for our AZ. Combined Driving Event. Dec. average snowfall in Cedar City is 7-8 inchs. Total so far this Dec, is 28 inchs. Love it.

Re: snow
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT'S NOT FAIR! Everybody gets snow but us! Here in Fairbanks, AK we have a snow drought, Valdez, Ak got 3 feet last weekend, Juneau has had about 20 feet so far (it melted) and Anchorage has had it's share. And then there is Denver with their big snowfall last week, and they are getting more, and now Utah! it just isn't Fair! We NEED it! Dog mushers are still using four wheeler to train their dogs on rough trails, skiers can't ski, snowmachiners can't snowmachine, and our poor septic systems are in mortal danger! Send that stuff up here! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska They said on the news here tonight that the official total was 18 inchs. All I know is that I have 5 ft of it everywhere.
