Yes, the University of Utah built a project house in Central Utah from rammed earth, and the southwest is known for their adobe homes (a type of rammed earth technique). Also, I would think that if you lived farther north (with snow and such), then parallels could be drawn to the rammed earth homes made across Europe and Asia that also receive snow (see taipa - Portuguese, or pisé de terre - French). A true testament to the durability of rammed earth would include such immense structures as the Great Wall of China, the Alhambra in Granada, and the Potala Palace in Lhasa. If these great structures can withstand the centuries, even millennia I'm pretty confident it could withstand even Utah's unpredictable weather. There is a great book on this subject called "Earth Architecture" that you can pick up from any bookstore or Amazon if you would like more information. (Amazon link here: http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Architecture-Ronald-Rael/dp/1568987676?&camp=212361&creative=383845&linkCode=wss&tag=eartharchitec-20 ). Good luck to you.
