May Snowstorm Closes Yellowstone Park Entrances
A May storm dumped heavy snow across the Rockies with over a foot in places, causing traffic pileups and two deaths, and closing Yellowstone National Park entrances. A separate Southern California storm left one boater dead and another missing. The National Weather Service forecast up to a foot of snow in eastern Wyoming, northern and central Colorado, and the Black Hills. Oregon’s Cascade Mountains were to receive up to six inches, while Wasatch Front fruit growers faced a potential hard freeze tonight.
