Be careful. 1983 is coming.
(Maybe... but it looks somewhat similar. And 1983 wasn't unique. It also happened sometime in the 1950s, though I forget the exact year.)
For those not in the know: In 1982, the lake was also sadness. There was talk of it drying up completely. Then the winter of 1982-83 was something like 200% of normal. Salt Lake wound up having to turn State Street into a river to handle all the extra water. From there to 1985 or -86, the lake rose dramatically, threatening to close railroads, and interstate 80.
