SALT LAKE CITY More snow is expected across mostly central Utah Wednesday night into early Thursday morning as a result of a storm that moved into Utah Wednesday morning.
In addition, more snow is now forecast for the Wasatch Front and northern Utah Friday.
Wednesday s storm brought a mixture of snow and rain to northern Utah and Wasatch Front valleys Wednesday morning, which made for a messy commute for some Utahns. Most valley locations topped out at about an inch of snow, according to a data update by the National Weather Sevices shortly after 4:30 p.m.
Of the mountain areas that have reported back so far, Snowbasin Resort near Ogden received the most snow with 6 inches. Canyons Village and Snowbird reported 5 inches at that time.
BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON Restoration of a popular trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon was recently completed, according to a group dedicated to the conservation of Salt Lake County s Wasatch canyons.
The Cottonwood Canyons Foundation announced last week that the Mill B North Restoration Project was recently completed after three years. The Mill B North Fork Trail is by one of the most-visited trailheads in the canyon.
The out-and-back trail located close to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon is nearly 10 miles in length. It also includes over 3,000 feet in elevation gain and is rated as difficult, according to AllTrails. The website points out that the path is a heavily-trafficked route that features a waterfall.

When I first started my journey to map out the latitudes and longitudes of Utah s food scene, it wasn t long before I got to the intersection of Holladay Boulevard and 6200 South. Despite the other developments that have emerged closer to the canyon itself, something about this cozy, arboreal section of Holladay has always felt like a true gateway to Big Cottonwood Canyon.
