We’re sorry, but the snow has returned for another round of chaos on Utah roads and highways. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before–Utah winters are known for fluctuations in temperature. One day it’s below freezing and snowing all day, the next day it’s 60 degrees and clear skies. What does this mean for driving? In short, it means you have to be prepared for anything.
