The advisory was dropped at 11 a.m.

Kiebler said that, while there was a glaze of ice in the area, the organization had not received any reports of ice measurements.

“That was certainly out there today, especially with the refreezing and everything,” Kiebler told The Inter-Mountain Friday. “So that’s why we had that advisory going until 11 a.m. this morning for that possibility.”

When asked if area residents should expect even more snow in this region of the state, Kiebler stated that the National Weather Service did not see any more snow “in the foreseeable future.”
