By Wednesday morning, many school districts were closed or on virtual learning schedules. And there were mass transit delays across northern Utah as well as  flight delays at Salt Lake City International Airport.

 And we’re not quite done.

The National Weather Service has a winter storm warning in effect through 11 p.m. Wednesday night.

Here’s a look at the Winter Storm Severity Index (WSSI) over the next 3 days, through midday Friday.
