The wider storm

A major winter storm took a three day period to move through northern Utah, bringing heavy wet snow to the area. Though the snowfall remained primarily in northern Utah, southern Utah received strong gusty winds as this storm moved through the region. The combination of snowfall and strong winds in northern Utah also produced hazardous avalanche conditions, with one fatal avalanche during this period of time.
