What a pity. I'm going to guess, and this is purely a guess, that we have enough dust on the snow this year to accelerate the loss of snowcover by about 10 days. We need to get a snow-energy balance station in the Wasatch so that we can collect the data needed to better quantify the impact of the dust.
I don't live there Jim but is snirt really a new phenomenon in the area, or much worse in recent years? - Pem
