Monday night’s cold front brought some snow to northern Utah which caused multiple accidents on Interstate 15 in Lehi.

Eastbound I-80 also saw heavy traffic in Parleys Canyon due to a semi-truck crash. The crash blocked two left lanes on snowy, slick roads heading toward Park City.

Little Cottonwood Canyon was closed for avalanche control work. Utah Department of Transportation crews reported Big Cottonwood Canyon had snow falling at upper elevations while roads were wet and slushy at lower elevations.
