It’s strange times in Park City. There is anger in the air. There is depression in the air. All apparently because there is no snow in the air.<\/p>\n

Around town you hear it from the locals. If it’s not a malaise brought about by lack of snow, it’s a fear that the snow is going to come in May and wreck mountain biking as well.<\/p>\n

Some people just seem sad. Others are flipping out. Case in point are the two people (one of them being a passenger) I saw flip off bus drivers yesterday morning. What’s next? Flipping the bird to teachers? Firemen?<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we thought we’d look for the silver lining in the rain<\/span> weather we are experiencing now. So here are The Park Rag’s Top 10 reasons to be happy about the weather.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Just think of all the little animals out there who are surviving and thriving this winter because they aren’t freezing their asses off. \u00a0Somewhere there is a cute little deer who is alive because of this weather… And maybe somewhere there is a cute little mountain lion who will grow up to eat that cute little deer.<\/li>\n
  2. Think of all the accidents that haven’t happened due to the snow. Somewhere, somebody’s car is dent free because of this weather.<\/li>\n
  3. There’s plenty of room on the buses. We haven\u2019t had to stand in a bus all season.<\/li>\n
  4. We assume the reason everyone doesn\u2019t pick up their poop at run-a-muck is due to the snow. Now, without snow, it should be SO poop-free that we should be be able to eat off the trail!<\/li>\n
  5. The school district said that we needed a Fieldhouse because our Spring sports can\u2019t practice outside until April. Looks like that Field house isn\u2019t quite so necessary after all. The weather just saved us $20 million. Thank you weather.<\/li>\n
  6. You haven\u2019t had to pay someone to snow plow your driveway this season. Now you\u2019ll be able to afford buying bottled water to water your grass this summer.<\/li>\n
  7. If you didn\u2019t buy an Epic Pass, looks like your procrastination<\/span> cheapness<\/span> disdain-for-crowds<\/span>\u00a0was a good choice and will save you over $600 this year!<\/li>\n
  8. There won\u2019t be crowds of visitors in Park City next Christmas. Who\u2019s crazy enough to make the same mistake twice in a row?<\/li>\n
  9. If you have one of those dogs that typically needs a coat in January, then your dog has had a good year (so far).<\/li>\n
  10. February and March are the biggest snow months. So, in four weeks we may be wishing for Spring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s all we got.<\/p>\n

    The snow may suck, but we still have Park City. Let\u2019s be kind to each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
