Heavy Snow in W Sheridan, Wyoming

Heavy Snow September 22, 2000 · W Sheridan, Wyoming

The wider storm

A strong cold front moved through south central Montana into northern Wyoming. In addition, an area of low pressure formed in central Wyoming and moved northeast into southeast Montana. This provided an area of upslope over Sheridan County in northern Wyoming. The combination of these two systems brought the first snow of the season to the area. Trees still had foliage, and as a result, some areas experienced power outages due to broken tree limbs on power lines. Some trees were damaged. Snowfall amounts were around 12 inches. Burgess Junction reported 12 inches of snow. Story reported 10 inches of snowfall and Sheridan reported 4 inches.
