The wider storm
A storm system moved through central Wyoming bringing heavy snow to Casper Mountain and the Wind River Range and adjacent foothills. Two feet of snow fell on Casper Mountain with up to eight inches southeast of Casper. New snow totals of 18 inches fell in the southern Wind River Range. Lesser amounts of snow fell in the Wind River Basin, but the resulting road conditions made for dangerous travel. One fatal accident and several other injury accidents occurred on local highways in this region due to low visibility and deteriorated road conditions.
