The wider storm

Deep Pacific moisture, combined with embedded weather disturbances moving through the region in the middle of January, resulted in heavy and wet snowfall in the mountains and mountain valleys of northern Utah. Occasional heavy rain was observed in the northern Utah valleys. This rain, when combined with frozen ground and snowmelt, produced flooding in portions of Cache Valley and Ogden Valley.
