Hello all.
Just curious as to what a typical winter in SLC is like. I am more concerned about amount of snow/ice than the cold temperatures. I am planning a move for a job in Orem, but would like to commute from one of the 'hip'er neighbourhoods downtown. |

I've driven through SLC many times over the past three years in all kinds of weather. Unless you just love lots of excitement slipping and sliding in the ice and snow, I suggest you find a place close to work to live. Even then, things shall get a bit exciting at times!

Hi Karl,
I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada so driving on ice is a four month of the year affair. Hopefully winter driving season is shorter in Utah. Cheers |

The winter driving season is typically from December to February (sometimes earlier). I think the major "roadblock" you will face is the Point of the Mountain on I-15. In the middle of a storm, it gets treacherous. Your commute time, in good weather, and depending on where you live in Salt Lake, could be over an hour. I agree with the other post that you should consider moving somewhere in Utah County. While I haven't had this drive to deal with, I have known people who have done it, and they say it gets tiring fast.

I live downtown and have had to give up commuting, even to Draper, because I am afraid of the sudden snow showers that can sometimes blow in out of nowhere.
