We get lake effect snow here because of the Great Salt Lake. Certain areas of the valley can pretty much expect to tack on 4-12 extra inches on top of what the weatherman is predicting because of this. It's awesome!
One more reason to hate winter in the Salt Lake valley - we have horrendous pollution (inversions). I believe at one point last winter that we had the worst air quality in the US. Salt Lake City is basically at the bottom of a bowl and when the warmer air gets trapped by cooler air on top of it, the air in the valley becomes a smog soup - some days, you swear you're chewing it instead of breathing it. I can tell when there is an inversion without watching the weather because my tonsils become inflamed and I have a sore throat until a storm cleans the air up.
Is it spring yet?
