The Great Salt Lake is up by a foot, and Utah is certain to have a good runoff season in the spring.
Statewide, the water equivalent of snowpack is at 195% of normal. That means snowfall is nearly double what Utah would see in average season this time of year. It also means that even if the storms suddenly stop, the state will still see an above-normal winter, the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Utah Snow Survey reports.“That makes this the best winter that we’ve seen in almost 20 years!” Snow Survey staff wrote in an update report.
Snowstorms have already given the Great Salt Lake a much-needed assist. The Department of Natural Resources reports the lake has risen by a foot since its elevation bottomed out in November.bisecting the lake so it acts like a dam, preventing saltier water in the north arm from further spiking salinity levels in the more productive south arm. The north arm does not have any rivers flowing to it.
