It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Orderville Cemetery gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Orderville, UT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“1. Stay active. Exercise may be the last thing you want to do when your arthritis hurts, but many studies show that physical activity is one of the best ways to improve your quality of life. 2. Eat a balanced diet. Studies show that a variety of nutrients may help ease arthritis symptoms. 3. Lose weight. Being overweight puts undue strain on weight-bearing joints such as your knees, spine, hips, ankles, and feet. 5. Use hot or cold packs. By increasing blood flow, hot compresses can ease pain and stiffness. 6. Keep pain under control. Over-the-counter medications can help ease arthritis pain. 7. Talk to your doctor about supplements and complementary medicine. Many supplements have been tested for the treatment of arthritis. 8. Try splints, braces, and other aids. Devices that support painful joints, such as splints, braces, and canes can help ease your discomfort and prevent injury. 9. Seek support. Living with arthritis isn’t easy. Finding other people that you can talk to and share ideas with can help. Check out arthritis support groups online or in your area. 10. Stay positive. Your mental outlook can have a big impact on how you feel, and how well you function. #SelfCare #Osteoarthritis #Arthritis #Disability #GoodHealth #PainRelief #SeniorCommunity #Caregiver #Caregiving #WECANHELP #OlderAdult #SeniorCare #SeniorLiving #SeniorServices #SeniorHousing #AlwaysBestCare #Exercise #SelfManaging #Tips”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Red Hollow Canyon Trailhead with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Archie's Food to Die For or visit East Zion Resort, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Orderville, UT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Orderville, UT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Orderville, UT 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

What if I told you there’s a city in Utah that’s within a few hours’ drive of a dozen of the state’s most beautiful natural wonders, and smack dab in the middle of not one, not two, but four national parks?
Meet: Kanab, population of about 5,000.
Located just a half-hour from the east entrance of Zion National Park and just under 90 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park, this small southeastern city is the ideal basecamp to explore Utah’s Canyon Country. An Old West feel is alive and well in “Little Hollywood,” a nickname claimed by the city thanks to its long history as a backdrop for movies and television shows for the likes of cowboys from Clint Eastwood to John Wayne. (There’s even a museum where you can check out the old sets.)

But I found myself at a local Airbnb that appeared to be in prime position to explore the area’s epic outdoor adventures. Here’s what I discovered: Prime is an understatement.
We drove just 15 minutes east and entered Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, taking a day to explore Buckskin Gulch, considered the longest (and deepest) slot canyon in the Southwest. It’s more than 20 miles long, meaning you can make it a day hike at your leisure or do the entire thing while camping along the way. Grab a $6 day pass at recreation.gov; then head down a dirt road, pass the turnoff for Buckskin Gulch Trailhead, and park at Wire Pass Trail. This is a more direct path through a wash to the canyon, where you’ll shimmy down ladders, pass horse tours, and just generally be in awe of the orange and pink sandstone rising above your head.
That’s just one of the destinations you’ll want to hit on a weekend in Kanab. Coral Pink Sand Dunes is just a minutes-drive away, not to mention Red Canyon, or Peek-a-boo Slot, and Gooseberry Mesa. So, what are you waiting for? Time to get out there! Here’s the low-down on the town where canyon bathing is a must:
There are plenty of Airbnbs throughout town, as well as motels and inns. The Best Friends Roadhouse and Mercantile is a pet-friendly lodge that supports a local animal sanctuary. You can also try to snag a campsite inside one of the national parks (or avoid the crowds and find one just outside their borders). If you’re going into Zion, be sure to research the shuttle system ahead of time; it’s back in effect on weekdays in mid-March.

A loaf of French boule from Kanab Creek Bakery lasted us the entire weekend for toast and sandwiches. Prime rib and foraged mushrooms from Sego Restaurant, located in the Canyons Boutique Hotel, made for more gourmet takeout. (Chef Shon Foster grew up in Kanab and previously helmed the kitchen at Amangiri, according to his website.) And the ice cream at Big Al’s Burgers is an indulgent treat.
Sego’s got an extensive cocktail selection. But honestly? If you’re staying in town for more than a couple days, bring your own cans of beer and bottles of wine.
Kanab is about 30 minutes from the east entrance of Zion National Park and just under 90 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park. Head just 15 minutes east and you’re in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The Grand Canyon is about 3½ hours south, and Capitol Reef National Park is just over three hours north.

Although it may not be the first state that comes to mind for beautiful fall foliage, Utah offers incredible autumn hues throughout its diverse landscapes. Nestled in the American Southwest, the Beehive State is home to deserts, lush forests, majestic mountains, and the largest saltwater lake in the Northern Hemisphere, the Great Salt Lake. Throughout the state’s contrasting landscapes are small towns that provide a great respite for those looking to view fall foliage in Utah and get away from the crowds.
Due to its diverse terrain and elevation, the best time to see vibrant autumn colors varies throughout Utah. In the north and higher-elevation towns, the peak season is typically from late September through early October. However, southern Utah usually comes alive with rich autumn shades in late October through early November. From the beautiful town of Vernal in the northeast to the high-desert town of Kanab in the south, these are the least-crowded towns in Utah to catch fall foliage.
Top Places To Visit In Utah In The FallFall in Utah is incredibly beautiful and comes with unique experiences like leaf-peeping, Halloween events, and shopping at a local farmer’s market.
Located south of Park City, Midway is an ideal fall destination for anyone looking to get away from the crowds. From late September to early October, visitors can catch scenic fall foliage along the town’s many hiking trails and scenic drives. Situated at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, you can drive north on Guardsman Pass to see breathtaking views of the area.
Midway is also home to Wasatch Mountain State Park, a serene park that provides horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking trails to view the autumn colors. Dutch Hollow Trailhead is another beautiful area to view the vibrant fall foliage. For a unique experience, check out Legacy Bridge, a covered bridge along the Provo River. The picturesque setting offers beautiful water views of the autumn leaves.
Manti is a small town in central Utah that boasts fall foliage of crimson, gold, and orange from late September to early October. Since the town is in the Sanpete Valley, travelers enjoy the scenic views and peaceful retreat in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The mountain ranges in the forest offer several trails for hiking and mountain biking. For some of the best views of Manti’s fall foliage, ride an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) along the forest’s off-road trails.
Manti also offers scenic waterfront views along the town’s many creeks. If you are looking for tranquility, take the scenic Manti Canyon Road and hike to Milky Falls, where the fall colors come to life.
Nestled between the Great Salt Lake and the majestic Wasatch Mountains, Perry is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. From late September to early October, nature lovers enjoy viewing the town’s fall foliage amidst the scenic background. You can also hike the Perry Canyon Trail to view the breathtaking canyon. For experienced hikers, take the trail to the peak of Black Mountain for unrivaled vista views of the autumn hues below.
One of the best ways to catch the fall foliage in Perry is to take a scenic drive on US Route 89. To the west, the drive offers a tapestry of autumn colors along Willard Bay, a reservoir of the Great Salt Lake, and fall foliage in the mountains to the east.
For those looking for a change of pace, Panguitch offers a serene setting away from the crowds. From late September to early October, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of life by viewing the incredible autumn hues in Dixie National Forest. In the forest, outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking and biking on trails, as well as fishing and taking in the serene views along Panguitch Lake. The best time of day to view the fall foliage along the lake is at sunrise or sunset, when the autumn hues shimmer and reflect in the water.
If you want to enjoy the autumn colors from the comfort of your car, a scenic drive through Bryce Canyon National Park is a must. The nearby park offers magnificent views of red rocks, pink cliffs, and stunning vistas along Utah SR-63.
Located in southeast Utah, Monticello boasts incredible fall foliage from late September to early October. Surrounded by several lakes, the charming town offers beautiful autumn hues reflected in the water. Nature lovers enjoy fishing, boating, and hiking at Monticello Lake and Lloyd’s Lake. For more outdoor adventures, there are several trailheads in the nearby Abajo Mountains. For picturesque views, hike along the trails on West Mountain, Twin Peaks West, and Abajo Peak to see the mountains painted in autumn hues.

As COVID-19 restrictions start to lift — and as President Joe Biden has called for a return to normal by July 4 — Airbnb has seen a growth in customers visiting its website and planning trips for the spring and summer.
Based on that data, Airbnb recently identified 10 locations in the U.S. that will likely see a travel boom in the coming months — and a small town in Utah made the list.
Located in Kane County, Utah, Orderville made No. 6 on Airbnb’s list of most popular destinations in the United States. About three hours from Las Vegas, the town is popular on Airbnb primarily because of its proximity to multiple national and state parks in Utah, such as Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, and Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks, Conde Nast Traveler reported.
Orderville also has a wide range of Airbnb options — including “The Farm House Container,” a “Tiny Escape Home” and a large cabin that can house up to 16 guests.
According to Airbnb’s list, other top travel destinations in the U.S. include:
Earlier this year, Airbnb also released its 50 most unique wish listed locations across the United States. For Utah, a treehouse in Park City was the No. 1 spot, the Deseret News reported.

SALT LAKE CITY — Nearly all of Utah is included in a winter storm warning ahead of a "major winter storm" that can potentially deliver up to a foot of snow or more in some valley communities and multiple feet of snow in the mountains Tuesday afternoon through Thursday morning.
Most areas not included in a warning are listed under a winter weather advisory. Meanwhile, a high wind warning has also been issued for several places in southern Utah, where gusts up to 65 to 70 mph are likely Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning.
The storm is arriving from the Pacific Northwest. Precipitation began with light rain along the Wasatch Front Tuesday morning in addition to mountain snow. Some bench areas began receiving snow by about 2 p.m. Tuesday, as the rain picked up in intensity in the valleys.
KSL meteorologist Kristen Van Dyke said the valley rain will turn to snow once a cold front arrives later in the day.
"We'll have rain likely developing along the Wasatch Front through the afternoon. At some point between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., we go from rain to heavy snow — that will quickly accumulate on roads," she said. "When that transition happens, a lot of times you see those squall lines where there are whiteout conditions; you have super heavy, dense snow coming down that sticks and makes it tough to see. That could be happening when so many people are on the roads."

A band of snow is expected to cross into southwestern Utah by early Wednesday, while it continues to fall in northern Utah. Scattered showers are expected throughout Wednesday and into Thursday before it finally clears up.
"So this is going to provide tons of time for the snow totals to go up," Van Dyke said.
The many winter storm warnings and advisories offer a window into how much snow is expected from this storm.

Snow totals in the valleys may shift based on when the rain transitions to snow Tuesday. However, the weather service still projects:
If you can find a way to leave work early Tuesday, do it, Van Dyke suggests, because of the expected messiness on the roads.
The Utah Highway Patrol, the Utah Department of Transportation and even Utah Gov. Spencer Cox advise the same, adding the option of staying at home Wednesday, if possible.
"If you can, we encourage you to work remotely tomorrow," Cox tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
UDOT issued a road weather alert that remains in place through Thursday morning.
Road Weather Alert:A major winter storm will impact the state beginning Tue AM in N Utah. Tue PM and Wed AM commutes will be highly impacted for Wasatch Front. Some areas will get 6-12in, 1-3ft for mtns.For more info, visit: https://t.co/4P1gO2c9Uo@UtahTrucking#utsnow#utwxpic.twitter.com/c75J6Jeb9T

"Snow will be heavy at times and continue statewide Tuesday night and Wednesday before tapering off and ending Wednesday night," the alert states. "Along the Wasatch Front, the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning commutes look to be highly impacted."
UDOT lists almost every major road in the state is listed in "high" or "moderate" caution from Logan to Cedar City through Thursday morning. Road restrictions are likely in the Cottonwood and Parleys canyons.
The agency also issued a backcountry closure in parts of Little Cottonwood Canyon Tuesday over avalanche danger. The Utah Avalanche Center advises that overall avalanche danger may increase as snow begins to accumulate Tuesday.
The snow could lead to school delays or closures; however, it's too early to know if those will be issued. For example, Ben Horsley, spokesman for the Granite School District, explained on KSL NewsRadio's "Dave and Dujanovic" that the district is monitoring conditions before it makes any decisions.
"We will watch and monitor as it plays out, and what impact it will have (on) our operations," he said. "One of the first things we look at is, can we actually get our people there safely? Can we operate our buses? Can we get things moving? Are the roads clear enough? … We're going to have to see how it plays out and how well plows are able to keep up."
Meanwhile, any additional snow will only tack onto the above-average snowpack this season. Utah's statewide snowpack entered Tuesday at 16.6 inches of water, which is 146% of the normal for the final week of February.
Candice Hasenyager, director of the Utah Division of Water Resources, pointed out Tuesday that this year's snowpack won't get Utah out of its drought struggles but storms like this are significantly chipping away at them.
It's why she sees the 2023 water year as very important.
"This is our opportunity year. In order to take full advantage of our plentiful snowpack, we must continue to use our water wisely," she said in a statement. "By using less water, we will become more drought resilient."
