NATION : Early Wyoming, Colorado Snow
A storm dumped up to 10 inches of snow on parts of Wyoming and more than half a foot in parts of northern Colorado, causing power outages, tying up roads and apparently contributing to a plane crash.
The storm set a one-day snowfall record in Cheyenne, Wyo., dumping 7.9 inches on Sunday alone and shattering the old mark of 3.5 inches set in 1970, the National Weather Service said. It was also the largest one-day snow for so early in the season. By today the city had a total of 10 inches.
The storm dumped greater amounts in Wyoming’s Laramie and Snowy Range mountains, where more than 1 foot of snow piled up.
Early today, the weather service said 4 inches had fallen in and around Ft. Collins, Colo., 8 inches in Greeley, 2 to 3 inches in Loveland and 3 to 4 inches in Denver.
