Snowstorm disrupts travel from Rockies to Plains
A major winter storm dumped over a foot of snow in the Rockies and spread across the Plains. Interstate 70 in Colorado was closed east of Denver, with smaller highways also shut. Iowa and Nebraska warned drivers to avoid roads as Chicago O Hare faced possible delays. Denver airport saw 30 minute delays before normal operations resumed. The snow aids ski resorts but raises avalanche warnings while easing drought and benefiting winter wheat, with farmers noting sideways snow and soil benefits for next year.
