Summer Snow? Fresh Powder Already Dusts Parts Of Utah

Utah has had some extra crazy weather events happening over the last couple of weeks. The state has seen wildfires, smoke-filled skies, heave rainstorms, flooding, and now frozen precipitation.

You don't usually associate snow with the summer months, but that's exactly what Utah has gotten. Snow could be seen falling near Bald Mountain Pass in the Uinta Mountains early on Thursday morning, reported Fox 13 Salt Lake City.

Cameras belonging to the Utah Department of Transportation showed a dusting of crisp, white powder that blanketed the ground and the trees sometime around 6:30 a.m. The cameras were located on SR 150 in the western part of Ashley National Forest.

You may think it's strange to get the icy precipitation in August, but it actually isn't the first time that Bald Mountain Pass has seen the summer snow. Back in 2015, the area saw snow as early as July 10th!

According to the National Weather Service, Utah's average first day of snow is typically much later in the year on November 7th.
