Wider weather episode

A powerful winter storm roared across pretty much the whole state. Even Utah's Dixie received measurable snow. Slick roads contributed to hundreds of minor traffic accidents. Though the snow amounts were not overly impressive, it was the widespread nature of the event that made it unusual. The highest total reported was 14 inches at Brian Head. Most mountain locations picked up 6-10 inches, with some valley totals including 7 inches in South Ogden, 5 inches in Cedar City, 4 inches at Delta, 3 inches in Zion National Park and 1 inch in St. George.
