Monday March 20 was the spring equinox, though it didn't feel like the first day of spring in Utah. This year the spring equinox was marked by snow and rain as a storm system landed.

The storms brought snow totals at Brighton Resort past 700 inches, beating earlier records for snowfall at this point in the season.

Another more powerful wave of storms is set to arrive this week, bringing more snow and rain to the state. Much of the state will likely experience below normal temperatures as well.

Southern Utah is looking at some rain and possible flooding, while Northern and central Utah are expected to get more snow in the mountains and valleys, which will bring the state's snowpack up from its record breaking 24.7 inches of water.

Gov. Cox blasts Biden’s veto, calling it an attempt to bypass Congress

As many predicted he would, President Joe Biden issued a veto on a resolution that sought to overturn a Department of Labor rule that allows retirement plan fiduciaries to take environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into consideration, as opposed to making decisions solely on returns when investing money saved in pensions and retirement plans.

It's Biden's first veto of his presidency, and the move has been criticized by many Republicans and the three Democrats who supported the resolution.

"The underlying principle of ESG is that instead of focusing solely on profit, investors should take other things into consideration, like a company’s environmental impact or perceived social harm," Kyle Dunphey writes.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called the president's move “deeply disappointing,” and said it was a “backdoor” way for the White House to bypass Congress.
