Summer Snow

The Salt Lake Valley got a chilly reminder this weekend that summer doesn't last forever. The first snowflakes of the season stuck to the mountainsides and swirled about the valley Saturday as a cold front marched through Utah with temperatures dropping below 40 degrees overnight along the Wasatch Front. Snow piled up 6 inches deep at Snowbird ski resort and dusted communities north of Salt Lake City. It whipped through Price canyon to the south, slowing traffic along U.S. Highway 6 and softening the autumn hues. The National Weather Service reported the heaviest snowfall above 7,000 feet. Lower elevations were greeted with rain, snow flurries and even quarter-sized hail. The agency expects temperatures to drop below freezing overnight in some places along the Wasatch Front.
