With storms this past week and more coming – people are seeing the effects on their homes and in the street. Including shattering one woman's windshield from the sheer weight of snow.
Paige Slaymaker lives in Eagle Mountain and was driving with her daughters when snow on the top of the truck in front of her flew onto her car.
There’s no rule in Utah to brush snow off the top of your vehicle, just the windshield and windows so you can see. But the Utah Highway Patrol said that if the snow is a danger to the public, you can be pulled over. There was traffic behind her and the emergency lane was filled with snow, so she couldn’t move over lanes either.
“Be cautious especially when there is a heavy wet snow like we had,” said Hasleton. “It was crazy, I think it was the weight of the snow and rain that just saturated the bark.”“Had that happened during the day or another time when someone was out there, it could have been pretty bad. So we’re super fortunate that nothing happened and no one was around.”
