How much snow did Utah get? Here are the totals — and what’s forecast next.

Utah finally looks like winter.

A much-anticipated storm swept across the state Wednesday, delivering the kind of snow that had ski resorts cheering.

Even southern Utah got in on the action, said Salt Lake City National Weather Service meteorologist Brittany Whitlam. Near Monroe, 7.5 inches piled up.

And in the Salt Lake Valley, flakes turned into the season’s first meaningful snowfall. The area near Salt Lake City’s airport picked up 2.1 inches — more than doubling its previous seasonal total of just 0.2 of an inch.

The highest totals were seen in the Wasatch Mountains, Whitlam said, with Alta Ski Resort seeing 47 inches. The snow pileup caused the resort to close at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, according to its Facebook page.

“Thanks for your patience while we faced everything Mother Nature threw our way,” the resort posted. “If you need us, we’ll be digging out.”

Snow totals by region

The mountains took the brunt of the storm, but the valleys didn’t miss out. Here’s a look at snowfall totals, as reported by the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.

In northern Utah communities:

Across the Salt Lake Valley:

Cache Valley was mostly light, with Hyrum reporting just 0.1 of an inch, while Park City recorded 9 inches.

The mountains saw the heaviest snow:

Even southern Utah got in on the action, with Sevier Valley measuring 7.5 inches.

What’s next?

The snow isn’t over yet.

Whitlam said another storm system is expected to move in late Thursday and continue into Friday, hitting southern and central Utah.

Mountains in those regions could pick up around a foot of snow, with about 3 inches expected in the valleys, she said.

The Salt Lake area could pick up roughly an inch from the storm, she said, but don’t get too excited if you live in the valley.

Temperatures are expected to warm over the weekend, she said, and rain could wash away the snow.

“We’ll probably start to see the valley snow melt out, which will definitely be sad,” Whitlam said. “It’s nice to see a coating of snow over everything.”
