Wider weather episode

After a very brief respite from a more modest winter system in the preceding days, another stronger winter system moved through the Intermountain West. This system brought accumulating snow to much of Utah, with some areas receiving more substantial amounts. Additionally, a fatal vehicle accident occurred in this time as a result of black ice.
