Penelope Karsy plays in Japanese lanterns during the Last Hurrah New Year’s Eve celebration at The Gateway in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. The free, family-friendly event, back for its third year, is billed as the largest New Year’s Eve celebration in Utah. It featured live music on outdoor stages, as well as indoor games and food trucks. While 2019 ended on a dry note, the first few days of 2020 are expected to be wet and snowy as a winter storm moves into the area. According to KSL’s Grant Weyman, the storm is expected to dump 4 to 8 inches of snow in the valleys and 5 to 10 inches of snow for the benches on New Year’s Day. More snow showers are expected Thursday, but the weather will warm up a bit by the weekend.
