The major storms across the United States are not close to stopping on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, more than 1,000 "severe" weather alerts were issued. There was a deadly tornado in Kansas, killing close to 50 people, and major storms throughout much of the Midwest and South. The East Coast was pounded by heavy wind and rain at times on Sunday, too.

Now, a major U.S. city is getting pounded by close to a foot of snow on Tuesday afternoon. There is eight inches of snow and counting pounding Salt Lake City on Tuesday morning. More than a foot of snow is expected.

There is already more than 8 inches of snow in downtown Salt Lake City. It's the biggest snowstorm of the season and it's not expected to stop anytime soon.

Longtime weatherman Jim Cantore shared the snowstorm news on Tuesday morning.

"A robust 8" of snow in downtown Salt Lake City. Biggest of the season and counting," he wrote.

Snow has reportedly been falling "hard" in Salt Lake City all morning long.

"It's a rough commute this morning—heavy snow coming down on the I-15 corridor south towards Salt Lake City. Visibility is poor and roads are slushy and wet," one reporter shared.

The National Weather Service issued an official alert on Tuesday morning, too.

"Heavy snow is expected to accompany a strong cold front overnight into Tuesday morning. Heaviest snow is expected across area mountains and portions of the Wasatch Front early Tuesday morning, which will impact the AM commute, especially across the Salt Lake Valley," the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City wrote on Tuesday.

Stay safe (and warm) out there, everyone.
