Winter Storm in Owl Creek & Bridger Mountains, Wyoming

A spring storm brought heavy snow to western and central Wyoming. The heavy snow was the result of an upper level disturbance that dropped south from Montana and moved across Wyoming. The storm track created a favorable upslope flow for areas east of the Continental Divide. Snowfall ranged from 4 to 10 inches in the lower elevations to 24 to 30 inches in the Teton Range of western Wyoming. Also, snowfall was around 1 foot in Lander and Meeteetse. The combination of wind and snow closed many state highways around the area on the morning of March 27th.
