While traction laws have been lifted on SR-190 and SR-210 in Little and Big Cottonwood canyons, the Utah Department of Transportation says that can change at any moment.

An additional 1-3 inches of snow is still possible in both canyons on Sunday.

Slushy road conditions are still being seen throughout both routes, especially in the upper canyons. Drivers should look out for slick spots in corners and steep areas.
