Snow Records, here are the top four snow days:
The 1-day snowfall records for St. George are:
1st 1894 15”
2nd 1974 10”
3rd 1919 8” the next day received another 8” for a total of 16”
3rd 2013 8”
All over St. George there are scenes occurring which are not often seen. First, the more obvious, there is white stuff all over everything. After some research it was determined that indeed it was snow….and staying. This conclusion was reached due to the freezing air temperature, cars sliding on the road, children sledding down hillsides and a multiplicity of what looks to be snowmen and snow forts doting the city. Even ice cycles have appeared overnight.
There can be a snowfall about once, maybe twice, a year and typically it is gone within hours or by the end of the next day. It certainly is a pretty site however when viewed from atop any of the area hillsides.
