The Nation : Snow Threatens Harvest

A storm system dumped heavy snow across the Northwest and threatened the wheat and sunflower harvest. Wind-chill factors of 20 degrees below zero were reported in Montana where snow drifted up to 4 feet deep. The large storm spread wintry weather from Idaho and northeastern Oregon south to Nevada and east to North Dakota. Officials at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming closed the park’s east, west and south entrances because of heavy snow and poor driving conditions. Eight Fairview, Mont., students and their driver were hurt when a freight train hit a school bus during a snowstorm.
