This just in…its officially winter in the Wasatch. Like New York City bums in central park watch pigeons, the bums of the Wasatch Mountains watch the snow totals accumulate (Bird Cam). There are several reasons why snow recessitates the morale of people in ski towns.
-> It keeps people out of Rehab
-> It allows people to forget about their imaginary friends for a while
-> It brings people closer to their religion (prayers become answered)
The list goes on. The point is that weather really plays an enormous toll on people’s perspectives. Its almost scary. For instance, take a look at this picture and see if you can feel the anger… 
…its because of the lack of snow in the background. Now, try looking at this and tell me how you feel?
You can almost hear him screaming, “I am happy because of snooooooooooooow!” Snow is the type of thing that would compel someone to leave their high paying job in Washington DC. Wait, what?
