Authorities say a winter storm has caused nearly 300 crashes, including a handful involving troopers.

The Utah Highway Patrol says no serious injuries were reported on the roads left treacherous by the storm that blanketed many parts of the state in a thick layer of snow.

The National Weather Service said chilly overnight temperatures and continuing snow could mean the roads remain dangerous as many head back to work Tuesday morning after the President's Day holiday.

The storm that started late Sunday piled up snow totals ranging from more than 20 inches (50 centimeters) in Sandy to a few inches downtown in the Salt Lake City area by Monday afternoon. Northern Utah's Cache Valley saw more than a foot, and central Utah's Cedar City got 8 inches (20 centimeters).
