More snow in Utah

It was dark with a cold rain as I left my house this morning at 5,000 feet, and the car thermo read 41 degrees F. Snow had fallen at higher elevations yesterday, but I heard on the radio that I-80 through Parley's Canyon connecting SLC and Park City was snow-covered.

Sure enough, an hour or so ago the clouds lifted just enough to see that the snow line was around 6,000 on both the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains. The weather has since closed back in, and a steady cold rain is falling here at 4,200 feet in the SL Valley.

We're what, now, 2 weeks from the summer solstice? This is getting crazy! :shock:
 
The weather has cleared again. 9,425-foot Farnsworth Peak, in the Oquirrh Mountains 18 miles southwest of downtown SLC, was bare on Sunday but now sports a significant accumulation of new snow (sorry about the crappy photo res, it's a severely cropped photo taken with my mobile phone -- but you get the point):
