SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — A report from the Utah Division of Water Resources Tuesday revealed that the Great Salt Lake has risen two feet since its historic low in November 2022. For context, the lake barely rose a foot the whole of 2022. Officials say this is a good start to the year as they prepare for Utah's snowpack to reach its peak soon with spring runoff drawing closer. In fact, as of March 1, new records for snow water equivalent were being made in various parts of Utah. More than 10 backcountry weather stations in Utah, also known as SNOpack TELemetry, are hitting record amounts of snow water equivalent never seen before in the past 30 years.
