Unusually large amounts of snow fell in Utah's Dixie, with storm total snowfall of 14 inches at Zion National Park, 13 inches in Springdale, 8 inches in Ivins, 7 inches in La Verkin, and 6 inches in both St. George and Hurricane. The snow caused significant travel difficulties in the area, especially considering many cities do not own any snowplows. Interstate 15 was closed due to snowfall in the Virgin River Gorge just southwest of St. George, stranding about 300 people on the highway overnight in Arizona. In addition, a semitrailer traveling northbound on Interstate 15 jackknifed in snowy conditions, closing two lanes of the highway for a couple hours in the Black Ridge area of Washington County. Also, the St. George airport was closed for most of the day on December 7, as the long period of snowfall overwhelmed its single snow plow.
