UTAH — The Utah Department of Transportation shared a video today celebrating the nearly 5 million miles of road drivers have plowed so far this winter.

In response to this season’s historic snowfall, UDOT crews have clocked a total of 120,650 hours of snow plowing.

“That’s enough miles to circle the earth about 193 times,” said a statement from UDOT. “And as Utahns know all too well…this season isn’t even over yet.”
