NOAA record 553381 βStorm total snowfall totals included 28 inches at Alta Ski Lifts, 23 inches at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, and 18 inches at Brighton Resort. Winds were also strong on the mountain peaks, with Mount Baldy recording a peak wind gust of 96 mph.
NOAA record 552709 βEvery entry comes from the NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database, the federal record of severe weather in the United States. We reproduce it here filtered to Utah and made searchable β we do not edit, add to, or interpret the records. Where NOAA lists a wind speed in knots we show it in miles per hour; everything else is verbatim.
Locations are NOAA's own county and National Weather Service forecast-zone names, which is why you will see both Salt Lake and Wasatch Mountains South of I-80. A storm not listed here was not necessarily absent β it means NOAA has no recorded report for it, which is common for isolated hail.
