April 16, 2015 Late Season Winter Storm

A late season winter storm impacted southeast Wyoming on April 16, 2015. A Pacific cold front moved into Wyoming during the night of April 15th. The days leading up to the event were warm and dry. Colder temperatures produced snow in the mountains and rain changing to snow across lower elevations. Total snow accumulations for elevations above 7000 ft were three to six inches, with more than 15 inches over the mountains. Elevations below 7000 ft received little to no snow accumulation.
