A snowstorm of epic proportions swept across the western United States, dropping over 3 feet of snow as of yesterday. Tens of thousands of people were left without power as well.
The storm dropped 30.8 inches of snow in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the most snow from a single storm the city had ever seen.
Along with Cheyenne’s all-time record, the Laramie Range reported 52 inches of snow.
This same system would become the fourth-largest snowstorm in Denver history, leaving over 27 inches of powder at Denver International Airport.
Throughout Colorado, five locations received at least 3 feet of snow, led by Buckhorn Mountain’s 42 inches.
The storm even dropped 19 inches of snow in Nebraska.
Thousands of flights were cancelled yesterday thanks to the snow, and high winds that topped 70 mph in some areas.
The storm moved into the upper Midwest yesterday, dumping snow and causing school cancellations in Iowa. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan started getting snow late yesterday and overnight.
In the south, the storm will stall today and create thunderstorms and rainfall from Louisiana to the Carolinas.
