SALT LAKE CITY — Another round of snow made its way through Utah on Sunday.
People should be prepared for heavy snow, poor visibility and deteriorating road conditions as a storm system moves from north to south across the state, according to a tweet from the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
KSL Weather's Brett Benson said this would be a "quick-hitting storm."
"We're not going to see a ton of accumulation but what we will see is it will snow heavily for an hour or 2, maybe even 3 hours, depending on where you live," Benson said.
In Sanpete and Sevier Valleys, a winter weather advisory is in effect until Monday morning.
"Expect snow covered roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving," the advisory said.
The Wasatch Mountains received the most snow in Sunday's storm. By 5 p.m., Alta had 6.5 inches and Brighton Crest had 6 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Snowbasin received 3 inches of snow while Powder Mountain received 2 inches by 4 p.m.
In the Salt Lake and Tooele valleys, Kearns and Stansbury Park had 2 inches by 6 p.m. and Sandy had just over 1 inch of snow. Tooele and the Salt Lake airport both received less than an inch of snow.
In the Northern Wasatch Front, northeast Ogden and Bountiful also got less than 1 inch of snow accumulation.
Weather impacts began around noon in northern Utah and will continue until after midnight in southern Utah, the weather service said. The storm hit the Salt Lake area starting around 3, and continued into the early evening.
