The Nation - News from Dec. 11, 1985
Winds up to 74 m.p.h. whipped blinding snow across northern Utah, closing schools and causing power outages, while snow and freezing rain caused hazardous driving conditions throughout much of the nation’s midsection. Snow fell from the central Rockies through much of the central Plains, and a mixture of snow, freezing rain and sleet was scattered from eastern New Mexico across the Plains into southeastern Iowa. At least 10 people were killed in traffic accidents on icy highways.
