Nation IN BRIEF : ROCKIES : Icy Storm Snarls Air Traffic, Cuts Power
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Wintry weather returned to the Rockies and the northern Great Plains as a fierce storm roared in with snow, freezing rain and high winds. A foot of snow piled up in the western mountains of Wyoming and Montana, and a total accumulation of 18 inches was likely, the National Weather Service said. Schools closed in the Nebraska Panhandle, in some cases after electricity was knocked out by ice and high wind. The weather also caused delays at Denver’s Stapleton International Airport.
