In Lehi, Utah, the past 24 hours have been marked by a mix of significant events and typical winter conditions.

### Weather
As of the latest update, the weather in Lehi has been quite chilly. On February 17, the temperature is around 19°F, with a light breeze of about 5.8 mph and mostly cloudy skies. This is consistent with the broader weather pattern in the region, which has seen freezing temperatures and light winds over the past few days[2].

### Traffic and Accidents
A major multi-vehicle crash near the Point of the Mountain in Lehi caused significant delays on southbound Interstate 15 on February 11. The crash, which involved a jackknifed semi and resulted in moderate to serious injuries, highlighted the importance of cautious driving in winter conditions[1].

### Pollen Count
While it's still early in the year, pollen counts in the Lehi area are relatively low. The primary allergen at this time is mountain cedar or Ashe juniper, but the overall pollen levels are not as high as they will be during the spring and early summer months. Currently, tree pollen levels, such as from cypress, juniper, and cedar, are at 67 PPM, with grass and weed pollen levels being negligible[3].

### Air Quality
The air quality in the Salt Lake County area, which includes Lehi, is currently moderate. The PM 2.5 levels are within the good to moderate range, standing at about 1.9 µg/m³, and ozone levels are also within safe limits at 0.037 ppm. This indicates that the air quality is generally safe for most individuals, although sensitive groups should always be cautious[4].

### Local Activities
While there are no specific high school sports scores available for the past 24 hours, residents in Lehi and surrounding areas can look forward to various outdoor and indoor activities. Given the cold weather, indoor activities such as visiting local museums or engaging in community events might be more appealing. For those who enjoy the outdoors, planning hikes in the early morning or late afternoon can help avoid higher pollen levels and make the most of the winter scenery[3].

In summary, Lehi is experiencing typical winter weather, with a focus on safe driving due to recent traffic incidents and manageable air and pollen conditions. As the community navigates these winter days, there are plenty of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor activities to stay engaged and active.
