Last year, Utah experienced its worst drought in 20 years. Typically Utahns count on spring snowpack to remedy a dry year. But were big February snows enough to generate an average water supply? Plus, a World War II-era bomber crashed into Lake Mead in 1948. After several failed attempts to locate the plane, it was finally discovered in the early 2000s—still remarkably intact. Our partners at H20 Radio wonder – as lake levels fall, how will this piece of history be affected?
