When it snows in Utah there are accidents

I really should call Nathan to make sure they weren't in any of the 458 crashes
along the Wasatch Front.  None of the rest of us were in an accident.

As of 3:30 p.m., the Utah Department of Public Safety reported 458 crashes along Wasatch Front counties. Of those crashes, four involved UHP trooper vehicles being hit, though no troopers were hurt, UHP reported. Any injuries in other crashes were minor.

As of 6 p.m., the agency reported 5.5 inches of snow at the Salt Lake City International Airport. More than a foot of snow was reported in the Wasatch Mountains at ski resorts including Alta with 19 inches, Snowbird with 18 inches, and Brighton with 19 inches.


As of Monday afternoon, 224 flights were delayed on average for more than an hour at the Salt Lake City International Airport, along with two cancellations, airport officials said.
As of about 11 a.m., about 3,900 customers in the Salt Lake metro area were without power, including about 2,300 in Taylorsville, said Rocky Mountain Power spokesman Dave Eskelsen.
Earlier Monday, about 7,000 customers had lost power due to the weather, including 4,500 in Salt Lake County and 2,000 in Davis County, Eskelsen said, but many had been restored by the afternoon.
