The wider storm
A low pressure system brought anomalous moisture and heavy snow to the Northern Continental Divide on the evening of the 11th to 12th. Strong winds aloft moving in around the same time brought high winds along the Rocky Mountain Front. These factors combined caused blizzard conditions along the immediate eastern foothills on the Rockies.
