White-out conditions could be seen on traffic cameras in the Salt Lake area, making for hazardous driving on highways.

At 8:45 a.m., all inbound flights to Salt Lake City International Airport were being held at their origin until 9:15 a.m.

The snow continued into the late morning as bands moved through Utah before tapering off in the valleys and leaving behind windy conditions in northwest Utah.
