Precipitation Summary • Around 6pm frontal precipitation began to taper off, and by 7pm

it was showery, with some lingering snowfall in the mountains.

• At 11pm a lake effect snow band forms on the north end of the

Tooele valley. It produces some brief heavy snow, but soon

dissipates.

• From 3 to 5am lake effect snow forms and begins to fall over

the Great Salt Lake, but because of light wind speeds, the

snowfall is not carried into the surrounding valleys of

mountains.

• From 6 to 8am the lake effect snow over the lake begins to

move toward Ogden propelled by a westerly wind. Ogden

experiences some periods of heavy snowfall and accumulations

of 3-5 inches.

• By 9am most precipitation has ceased.

• Throughout the night, the Salt Lake Valley received only a trace

of snow.
