March 2025 produced heavy precipitation for the Salt Lake City area. The total at my station was 3.26" (8.2 cm). The 28-year average for March is 2.08" (5.3 cm). The most for any March in the past 28 years is 4.62" (11.7 cm) recorded in 2019. The mountains also received abundant snow, thus northern Utah should be in good shape water-wise for the coming summer. Southern Utah is in a drought, and March 2025 did not help.

The warmest day wash March 26 with high temperature of 77.6 F (25.3 C),just shy of the 28-year record of 78.5 F (5.8 C) in 2002. The lowest temperature was 20.3 F (-6.5 C) on March 19. The mean temperature was 45.2 F (7.3 C) versus the 28-year average of 43.5 F (6.5 C). The mean was 1.7 F (0.8 C) above the 28-year average.

The heaviest snowfall for the winter season was 7" (17.8 cm) on March 14.

The storms on the 20th and 21st provided 0.70" (1.8 cm) of precipitation, or 56% of the total 1.26" (3.2 cm) for February. That storm lifted the snow content in many locations in the nearby mountains to 100% of the normal for February. As time goes forward, we'll need to average 100% of normal until mid-April to end the winter season at 100%. The 28-year average for February is 1.61" (4.1 cm).

The mean temperature was 37.9 F (3.3 C) versus the 28-year average of 33.3 F (0.7 C). That's above the 2.5 C rise in global temperatures we are trying to avoid. With data like that, how can people say they can't see global warming happening right before their eyes? The low temperature of 7.7 F (-13.5 C) was a friigid February day. The 28-year record is 2.6 F (-16.3 C) set in 2010.

January 2025 was quite dry; only 0.76" (1.9 cm) fell. Yes, it seemed we often had 1-2" (2.5-5.1 cm) of snow, but it was dry powder snow with little water content. More than half of the water content fell on January 4th.

We can still have a decent water supply if the year's wettest months (March, April, May) are near or above normal.

The mean temperature was 28.3 F (-2.1 C). The twenty-eight-year average is 30.5 F (-0.8 C). The warmest day was January 3, with a high of 59.7 F (15.3 C). 62.1 F (16.7 C) during 2003 is the warmest January day in the past 28 years. After the 15th of the month, the temperatures turned cold. From January 17th through January 29th, the temperature never made 40 F (4.4 C). The lowest temperature was 7 F (-13.9 C) on January 21st. That is the coldest temperature of this winter season so far and will likely remain the coldest for this winter season.
