Another foot of snow, accompanied with strong northwesterly winds.

NORTHERN UTAH - An early morning avalanche in Little Cottonwood Canyon hit two cars and closed the road. No one was hurt. The avalanche hit the White Pines area around 3:30 a.m. The slide is about 20 feet wide and one and a half feet deep.

Two people who work at resorts in the canyon were driving down the road when the slide hit their vehicles. They got out safely. The canyon likely will be closed until about 10 a.m.
