A plume of Pacific moisture combined with a strong upper-level disturbance and associated cold front to bring heavy snow to western Wyoming with high wind to the east of the Continental Divide. The heaviest snow fell across the western mountains with over two feet of new snow reported in the higher elevations of the Teton Range. Valley totals generally ranged from 6 to as much as 12 inches. Meanwhile, an increasing pressure gradient and favorable conditions for mountain wave-generated winds produced high winds in Natrona County and around Clark. A wind sensor west of Clark peaked at 95 mph during the mountain wave, while an anemometer on the south side of Casper gusted to 72 mph.
