A powerful upper low pressure system was responsible for the bulk of the snowfall Monday, March 28th through Wednesday morning, March 30th. This storm system deposited 1 to 2 feet of snow across much of Fremont and Natrona counties with 30 inches or more across parts of the eastern Wind River Range and Casper Mountain. A Canadian cold front that dropped south across the area Wednesday night added a few more inches to some of the storm totals. Downtown Riverton recorded it's ninth biggest snowstorm on record (since 1907) with a storm total of 15.4 inches.
