Winter Storm Briefing This winter storm briefing looks at the system that's anticipated to affect Tuesday morning's commute and bring snow to the mountains.

The snow is still falling if you hadn't noticed 1/29/2013
Hello, everyone
Well, there's definitely quite a few more inches on the ground. I wanted to share with you
UDOT's Road Weather Alert for today.
The full version is attached. Here's a synopsis.
Areas of slushy to snow covered roads will impact the Tuesday morning along the Wasatch Front.
Currently many routes, especially on the east benches are experiencing snow covered roads. Please
travel with caution today.

Forecast for 5:30 A.M. Tuesday through 11 P.M. Tuesday

Road Weather Highlights
• Road snow will impact the Tuesday morning commute and the Tuesday evening commute along the Wasatch Front. The Tuesday morning commute will see the greatest impact.
• Road snow will impact the I-15 Corridor between Spanish Fork and Cedar City after 7 A.M. Tuesday. The greatest road snow accumulations will occur over the summits near the I-70 Jct.
• Blowing snow, reduced visibilities, and wind gusts of 45+ mph between 8 A.M. and 8 P.M.Tuesday will impact I-80 west of Salt Lake City, I-84 north of Tremonton, US-40 nearStrawberry Reservoir, US-6 over Soldier Summit, SR-30 west of I-84, SR-10/I-70 near Fremont Junction, and routes in the West Deserts.

UDOT's updates can be found online at udottraffic.utah.gov

The roads and sidewalks are SLIPPERY today. Be Careful!

A weak but moist storm will move through Utah late tonight and Thursday. Here are a few highlights about this storm:

1. A mix of rain and snow and possibly freezing rain is expected to begin over northern Utah towards sunrise.

2. In places where cold air remains trapped such as valley bottoms or in shady normally cold locations, freezing rain is possible.

3. The Thursday morning commute may be impacted by areas of ice on roadways. These may be difficult to see, so just because the road looks clear, there could still be patches of clear ice.

4. The Cache Valley and west deserts are the areas most likely to see freezing rain, but all areas of the Wasatch Front and some of the valleys on the Wasatch Back could also see some freezing rain. The Cache Valley could also see a few inches of snow.

5. Snow is expected above 6500 feet with accumulations of 3-7 inches.

A big thanks to Mr. Nathan Criman and the Mountain View High School Performing Arts Students. You Rock!

Jims Spin Blog Have you ever anticipated something so much that you are willing to stand outside early in the morning waiting for the doors to open?
