Sure, a Saturday morning right after a foot of fluffy snow is the best thing ever. But that same amount of snow on Tuesday in Utah can make a commute last forever. Imagine it’s the dead of winter and the time of year when the ground is frozen, the air is bone-chilling, and there are piles of dirty, nasty, ice-encrusted snow all over the place.
This is about the time of year when you’re just about ready for spring — especially in Summit Park, the snowiest place in Utah.
So, put on your parkas, snow boots, and gloves, and let’s go outside to see which Utah cities get dumped on the most every year. After analyzing all the cities in Utah with Saturday Night Science, we came up with this list as the 10 snowiest cities in Beehive State.
