KSL: Utah has too little snow in north, too much in south

One of Utah's most popular winter attractions — sleigh rides at the Hardware Ranch in Cache County — is shutting down early because there just hasn't been enough winter. It illustrates how bad our snowpack is and the tough decisions water managers will have to make later this year.

Throughout northern Utah, the snowpack is the worst in eight years, 60 percent to 70 percent of average. Conversely, southern Utah has huge snowpacks. We're stuck in a classic El Nino pattern, and the odds of recovery are very low in northern Utah, according to Randy Julander of the Utah Snow Survey.

"Your probabilities of getting back to average at this point are far less than 10 percent, and in most cases, less than three percent," Julander said.
