New snowfall in the Wasatch mountain valleys included 25 inches in Heber City, 22 inches in Park City, 16 inches at Deer Creek Dam, 13 inches in Morgan, and 12 inches in Eden.

The wider storm

A large and very moist Pacific storm system brought widespread heavy precipitation to Utah over a five day period. The storm pulled a continuous stream of tropical moisture ahead of it and, combined with numerous embedded shortwaves, resulted in almost non-stop rainfall across many of the lower elevations and wet, heavy snow in the mountains.
