First Snowfall of the Season in the Wasatch Mountains

A fallish storm moved into Utah the past couple of days with the associated air mass cold enough to put the first dusting of snow in the higher Wasatch mountains.

A few inches of wet snow fell in the northern Wasatch Mountains above about 9500 feet.

This is a sign that the season is changing and time to make your family winter 2012-2013 ski season plans so you will have the dates you desire.
