And it was even more surprising that the neighbors to the north in Cedar City didn’t see much more than late afternoon flurries and woke up on President’s Day to clear roads, with a light snow just starting to fall at about 7 a.m.
Readers from various locations in Washington County submitted photos and comments, reporting as much as 1 1/2-3 inches in some locations. Scroll down to see the St. George News photo gallery. And then with the holiday, get those kids out there before it all melts away.
