❄Utah has tied the record for the largest snowpack ever, which was set in 1983. Since the snow just keeps on coming, it's likely the state will break that record at some point today.
On Friday, Utah tied the record statewide snowpack of 26 inches snow water equivalent.With more snow falling through Friday and into Saturday morning, that number will continue to climb, meaning Utah will likely break the record for the largest snowpack in state history.Officials emphasized that while it's enjoyable to watch records being broken, staying"conservation-conscious" will help to build water storage or inevitable dry years that will happen again in the future.
The latest drought update reported that severe drought covers 39 percent of the state compared to last year at the same time when 96 percent of the state was in severe drought. In particular, the Great Salt Lake has greatly benefited with the epic snowfall totals and has already risen two feet since hitting its historic low set in November 2022.
