A winter storm continues to drop snow on Salt Lake, Utah and Davis Counties on Wednesday morning, closing or delaying some schools, postponing some COVID-19 vaccinations and snarling traffic.
The Utah Department of Transportation is asking to stay off the roads until 10 a.m., if at all possible, as the storm’s intensity recedes. The Utah Highway Patrol reported more than three dozen accidents before 8 a.m.
