Another summer is about (ready) to slip away in northern Utah, with winter in the batter's box ..
On July 23, my brother inspected a late-season snowfield in Utah's Stansbury Range, just west of Grantsville.
Scrambling up to a "crevasse" at the base of a steep quartzite headwall, he measured approximately 35-ft. of snow remaining during the final week of July.
WHAT does this mean for northern Utah? Will 2011-2012 be ANOTHER big snow year? Will small glaciers be forming in Utah mountains within the next several years ???
