Other peak gusts include 60 mph on the Eyring Science Center @ BYU, 60 in Vernon, 57 at the University of Utah, and 52 at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
Two inches of snow at Alta combined with the cooler weather should yield some "interesting" dust-on-crust conditions in the Wasatch for today.
