After nearly 34 hours, the snow that fell across northern Utah finally ended Wednesday afternoon, but with another storm on the way, more snow is forecast with advisory going into effect from 1-11 a.m. Thursday. Areas under the advisory include the Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele and Rush valleys, along with the northern Wasatch Front.
Light snow was consistent in the overnight hours from Tuesday to Wednesday, but mainly in a small north of Utah County to the Idaho border. Up to 3 inches of snow fell in the northern valleys and the Wasatch Mountains south of Interstate 80 before things tapered off around noon.
A Dense Fog Advisory was also in effect for northern Utah until 12 p.m.
The storm that passed was a doozy for Utah, with the Alta-Collins measuring location totaling 47 inches of snow between Sunday and 4 a.m. Wednesday. The Salt Lake City office of the National Weather Service received 12.2 inches.
The new system is dropping into the area from the Pacific Northwest and will arrive in Utah overnight, bringing more snow in the Thursday morning hours and affecting the early commute. Another 2-4 inches of snow is again forecast for the northern valleys by Thursday.
Things will clear up by Friday, although temperatures will be cold with highs barely breaking the 30s, if at all.
