SALT LAKE CITY — Park City is getting a blanket of snow Monday as a winter storm rolls through the state.
However, the colder part of the storm will take its time reaching lower elevations. The rain is off and on in the Salt Lake Valley, but the snow currently coming down hard in Park City.
Parley's Canyon and the summit on I-80 are also collecting a lot of snow. It's not quite white out conditions, but visibility is poor and cars are sliding off the roads.
I counted 4 slide-offs in less than a mile west of Myton on US-40. #utwx#utsnowpic.twitter.com/8C0lb8xXLn
