"At a certain point we had two to three inches falling in an hour and that amount falling that fast, you are going to have problems no matter how many plows are out on the road," said John Gleason, UDOT spokesman.
Gleason said it has been a wild winter and the plow crews have been kept busy.
"They live for this opportunity and want to make the roads as safe as possible," Gleason said.
Through 3 a.m. Monday, the National Weather Service reports nearly 10 inches of snow at the Salt Lake City International Airport and 12 inches of snow in Centerville. See additional snow totals from NWS.
