SALT LAKE CITY -- A winter storm has led to scattered power outages and created some dangerous conditions on roads around the Wasatch Front.

All over the Salt Lake Valley, surface streets were covered with several inches of snow for the morning commute. The east bench reported between 6-12 inches, with 3-6 inches in Lehi. In Cottonwood Heights, nearly 2 feet of snowfall made it difficult to get around.

Thousands without power

Rocky Mountain Power says at the height of the storm about 1,700 customers were without power. As of 11:30 a.m., that total grew to 5,000 homes on the Wasatch Front without power.
