Plus, everyone gets to get together and celebrate. Such is the case with Utah's recent dump: last week, Utah got over 30 inches of snow, according to Deer Valley Resort's X (twitter) post detailing the occasion.

The video, from Stag Lodge at Deer Valley, read: "30" of new snow in the past three days at #DeerValley and it's still snowing!"

The driest place in North America became flooded this week when an atmospheric river storm drenched Death Valley National Park in California.

The storm dropped 1.5 inches of rainfall in just the four days between Sunday and Wednesday, rivaling the park's annual average rainfall amount of nearly 2 inches, according to the National Park Service.

This downpour prompted the closure of several park roads after flash flooding on Tuesday night. Debris had to be removed from some roads to reopen them, but some side roads remain closed due to storm damage.

Park visitors are encouraged to check the Death Valley National Park website for the most up-to-date road closures and conditions information.

Two rare tornadoes hit Wisconsin in February, leaving extensive damage in rural Evansville

Tornado touches down in Wisconsin, first recorded for the state in the month of February
Tornado touches down in Wisconsin, first recorded for the state in the month of February
From a road just south of U.S. Highway 14 in rural Rock County, Justin Schott's home and the home of his father-in-law next door appeared untouched by one of Wisconsin's first February tornadoes.

But just behind those homes — the site of their family crop farm established in the 1960s — the destruction the tornado had wrought was on display.

It had leveled a concrete silo, leaving rubble in its wake. It had torn a roof off another building. Some trees were ripped out of the ground, and branches from countless others lay scattered.

Thursday evening, as the clouds over the farm grew ominous, Schott sent his wife and two children into the basement. He stayed upstairs for a minute more, where the sky was so dark he couldn't make out a funnel cloud. As he headed downstairs, his ears popped and a whooshing sound began.
