We have had some snow so far this winter but it has mainly been in the mountains. We live right at the lower snow lever which is about 5000 feet above sea level. The mountains rise to almost 12,000 feet to the east of us. Despite the snow that has fallen, most of Utah is still in an extreme drought. The mountains run roughly north and south with the big valleys to the west. As the sun sets, we can watch the shadow of the mountains to the west slowly climb up the face of Mount Timpanogos. This photo was taken just after a snow storm but you can see that the snow has melted down where the houses are located.
