SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah's first big winter storm left behind about one foot of snow in most parts of the Salt Lake City area and as much as two feet in some higher spots.
Utah Highway Patrol worked more than 400 accidents over the last two days as people struggled to get to work and school on icy, snow-packed roads.
National Weather Service lead forecaster Pete Wilensky says the worst of the storm has passed. Snow is expected in the mountains central Utah, but the storm is winding down in northern Utah.
National Weather Service figures show Bountiful led the way for snow accumulation in the Salt Lake Valley, totaling 28 inches.
More than 9 inches accumulated at the Salt Lake City International Airport, surpassing the total for all last winter.
