SOUTHERN UTAH – The week’s weather alerts for snow, rain and even slush were finally vindicated in Utah’s Dixie New Year’s Eve with a few hours of light snow, enough to stick on the ground in some places for a time and blanket it in others. St. George News readers shared their photos with reports from across the region – and a few from afar – of what their eyes saw and camera lenses captured during the early hours of the night.
Here is a sampler of 20 photos from those submitted. (Updated New Year’s Day with morning photos added with thanks to St. George News contributor Rachel Gee.)

Um, I’ll vote for the shot taken in Hawaii…
I second that!
I third that
I love the silouettes of the palm trees under the falling snow. Reminds me of home when it snows in California
How do you recognize which snowmen are male and not female? The males have snowballs.
Oh okay
