SALT LAKE CITY — The calendar says Spring but Sunday definitely is looking a lot like winter.
Several inches of snow have piled up in the mountains and snow, rain and even graupel have made it a good day to stay home unless you absolutely need to be somewhere.
Scattered showers are producing periods of heavy graupel that are quickly covering roads and making them very slick. Use caution when traveling today! #utwx #wywx pic.twitter.com/YDRXzImYVc
