Not only in the Bee- hive state, but in the nation as a whole. Numerous Pacific storms and cold air fueled by a sagging stormtrack caused heavy mountain snow, flooding and dropped over 300% of the normal amount of precipitation usually received. In the month of November Alta saw a record 144 inches of snow setting the pace for a long and cold winter. The year may have only been the fourth wettest in history, but the added water brought the Great Salt Lake to it's highest level since 1888, and it was still climbing to a pre- dicted all time high for 1984. Forecasters attributed the rise to the changing weath- er cycle which goes from dry to wet or vice versa every 49 years. Aggravating the situation was El Nino a large mass of warm water off the Pacific coast which had been disrupting weather over the en- tire continent bringing flooding to most the U.S. and instigating the formation of 23 hurricanes. Despite the wetness that seemed to prevail the summer was typi- cally hot and 200 frost free days passed setting another record. Because Utah weather is so complex with four distinct seasons many unique terms have been created to describe conditions only prev- alent in Utah. Hatus. blow before a storm moves in. Williams Wave is an intense low pressure system forming in Nevada and of course the well known Lake Effect, meaning storms intensify over the lake and slam into N. Utah with renewed force. Ranging from warm sunny summers per- fect for sunbathers and outdoorsmen. to cold snowy winters delighting skiers and wowing the cold weather enthusiasts, the weather was diverse and if you didn’t like the weather outside all you had to do was wait a day or two and it would have changed. 146 ■ Sophomores
