What happened
The episode as NWS SLC wrote it up.
The new Millennium arrived with a snowy bang, as a series of winter storms pounded much of the state in a three day period. This was on the heels of a very dry start to winter and the ski season, so it was much appreciated. The brunt of the snow fell in the Northern mountains and along the Wasatch Front. Over 2 feet of fresh powder was common at the ski resorts, with 8-12 inches along the benches of Northern Utah and 4-8 the norm in most valleys. Some higher amounts included Alta with 33 inches, Snowbird with 30 inches, and Spruces with 22 inches. East Layton picked up 11 inches of snow, with Upper Millcreek checking in with 10 inches. The icy roads caused a few small accidents, with only minor injuries.
