Winter Storm December 14, 2014 – December 15, 2014 · Southeast Big Horn Basin, Wyoming
What the National Weather Service wrote
Snowfall amounts across the southeast Big Horn Basin ranged from 7 inches near Worland to 12 inches south of Ten Sleep in the Upper Nowood Valley.
The wider storm
A surge of sub-tropical moisture combined with a trough moving south out of Canada to bring heavy snow to many areas east of the Continental Divide. Snowfall exceeding six inches was fairly widespread. The highest amounts fell in the favored north to northeast upslope locations such as Lander, the southern Big Horn Basin, and the Casper area. The highest snowfall total was 13 inches northeast of Thermopolis near the community of Lucerne. Portions of Casper received 10 inches of snow with areas around Lander receiving 6 to 9 inches.
