Salt Lake City, UT – Utah’s mountains are bracing for up to 3 feet of snow this Christmas week as a series of storms moves through the region. Starting Monday, the storm train will deliver significant snowfall to areas like the Bear River Mountains, Ben Lomond, and upper Cottonwoods, with impacts expected to intensify through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Salt Lake City, the heaviest snowfall will occur at higher elevations, where storm systems will dump between 1 and 3 feet. Lower elevations may also experience light snow, with valley floors seeing mixed precipitation or trace accumulations.
Travel in mountain regions is expected to become dangerous, with snow-covered roads and low visibility creating hazardous conditions. The NWS advises carrying snow chains, emergency kits, and checking road conditions before traveling.
The storms, which are part of a strong winter weather pattern, will continue into next week. Forecasters suggest that colder temperatures could bring additional snow events beyond the weekend.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to monitor weather updates and prepare for winter conditions as Utah embraces a snowy holiday season.
