Utah's low-snow winter has taken a casualty: Ogden's Winterfest 2012.
The annual event, set for Jan. 27-28, has been canceled, organizers announced today.
“Unfortunately, it is with deep regret that we announce the cancelation of this year’s Winterfest celebration," event coordinator Kevin Ireland said in a statement. "We want to express our appreciation to all of the organizations and supporters involved, and we look forward to next year’s festivities."
Organizers cited the small accumulation of snow in December and early January - and a 10-day forecast that anticipates rain.
