The past few weeks have been blue skies and warmer weather in Park City, Utah. While there are usually still many inches of snow in the cold season of March, this year is dramatically different. Most of the snow melted away very early this year, leaving little to prove that Park City is still in the midst of winter. The ski resorts had a shorter “go-season,” leaving fewer people on the hill. There are many possible causes of the warmer weather, the most relevant simply being global warming. Although global warming is a controversial issue, there is no doubt that our Earth is becoming gradually warmer.
However, in middle of the odd warm weather, a snow storm recently came through town. The storm contained high winds, snow, rain, and even brief periods of hail. This common cold front was a surprise to most of Park City after people got used to the premature warmer weather.
The weather is expected to be in the high forties for the next week, with temperatures reaching up to sixty degrees this upcoming Sunday, March 20th. Although the cold, snowy weather is expected to be taken over by sun in the next few days, the weather forecast is showing possible rain and snow again as soon as next Tuesday, March 22nd.
