Blizzard Conditions In Wyoming, Colorado, Bring Travel To A Standstill : NPR

Parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska are digging out from under over a foot of snow, in what the National Weather Service has called a “historic and crippling” blizzard. And the storm is likely to continue, as the central part of the country is poised to see blizzard conditions before snow moves into the Midwest.

With at least 25.8 inches of snow in Cheyenne, Wyo., it’s broken the record for the heaviest 2-day snow storm there. According to NWS Cheyenne, the previous 2-day total record was 25.2 inches, set in November 1979. The storm has blanketed southeast Wyoming, northern Colorado and western Nebraska.

Throughout Wyoming, wind gusts up to 55 mph have helped cover the state with heavy and blowing snow. According to the NWS, travel in Wyoming and the western Nebraska Panhandle will remain “extremely dangerous or impossible,” including in the I-80 corridor between Cheyenne and Rawlins.
