Message: [QUOTE="pecan, post: 159744, member: 3991"] I think the hottest I have seen it here in Salt Lake Valley is 112'. We are normally in the 90's during the day and 70's at night in July and August. We normally don't get below 5' in the winter. It was a record cold year this winter and I think we went below 5' twice. It gets dreary in the winter in the valley because of the bowl shape, all the pollution builds up and we can go the whole month of January not seeing the sun, even though it is sunny and blue skies above the inversion. This is hard since we get over 250 days of sun here a year, we get used to it being sunny. We get very little rain (10" a year) but our water for the year comes in the form of snow since the mountains above us get on average 600" a year, if I remember correctly. We are at 4100 feet above sea level in the valley and the mountain peaks that surround us stand over 11,000 feet high. I am kind of a nerd about climate LOL [/QUOTE]
