(20,776 posts)While staying with my Korean Grandmother in her Upstate NY Home, and when I lived two years in Salt Lake City Utah. One thing I most remember about that, is I remember going to a friends house. I had worn only a light sweater, because it was a bit cold. We had been in side playing board games... and I was only there for approximately 2 hours. ON walking over to their house, a mere few blocks away, the ground was absolutely dry.. and not a bit of any moisture.

Two hours later, I emerged from the house to walk into 2 feet of snow.. and it was still coming down in great big huge flakes. Clumps of snow coming down. I am not sure if it was the famous Utah powder snow, but it stuck to everything, it was huge and flaky! I more or less tried to jog home, because I only had a light sweater on! When I got home i turned the thermostat up because my little apartment flat was cold!

It snowed all night and into the next day. I don't know how many feet of snow fell, but it was a lot. I also got a call from a friend of mine asking if I wanted to go skiing up to Snowbird, Alta or maybe Brighton. We ended up at Brighton that next day under sunny skies and watched them fire a cannon into the side of a mountain, trying to make an avalanche happen.
The hot cocoa on that day was outstanding! I rented some cheap SEARS skis and poles and we had a blast going up and down the slopes.
