Killer Blizzard Sweeps Through 2 Western States

A massive early fall blizzard moved from southeastern Wyoming into eastern Colorado causing at least four deaths and widespread disruption. Heavy wet snow and 60 mph winds blocked highways in Cheyenne, with drifts up to six feet. Deaths included a Colorado head on crash, a Salt Lake City man in Wyoming, a Denver woman struck by a branch, and a Seattle man who suffered a heart attack while putting on chains near Lander. Schools closed across southeastern Wyoming and eastern Colorado, while power outages and weather- related travel hazards persisted.
