Snow arrives early at Snowbird, Utah

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

The Salt Lake Tribune writes:

“Tuesday’s snowstorm kicked off a five-day accumulation that has reached about 46 inches of snow, allowing Snowbird Ski Resort to open Friday, the second-earliest start in the resort’s 38-year history. The resort didn’t open until Nov. 28 last year. ”

Not extreme, but this illustrates that climate change is an event that occurrs over 10,000 years not 10 years.

And early snow is good for the economy. Skiers unite and get out there!
