Northern Plains, Rockies Lashed by Snow, Winds
A winterlike storm stretched from the northern Rockies across the northern Plains on Thursday, lashing the region with heavy snow and strong winds.
The storm had dumped up to 10 inches of snow on the Big Horn Mountains in northern Wyoming by the afternoon, weather officials said.
Elsewhere, four inches of snow fell at Grand Forks, N.D., and at Thief River Falls and Bemidji in Minnesota. Walker, Minn., reported six inches of snow.
A winter storm warning was posted through today for Upper Michigan, with warnings for gale-force winds tonight over much of the Great Lakes. Advisories also were posted for blowing and drifting snow over central and northern Minnesota.
Winds gusted to 52 m.p.h. Thursday morning at Rapid City, S.D., and wind advisories were posted into the night for South Dakota and Iowa.
Heavy rain, meanwhile, created problems in Hawaii. A flood advisory was posted for Kauai, where rain forced the temporary closing of the Hanalei Bridge.
