Slashing storms opened a new front against rescue efforts in western blizzard areas. High winds in Wyoming piled snow drifts onto highways and rail lines, halting traffic. A Burlington Lines bus with 16 passengers was stalled west of Casper, and a convoy carrying hay for snowbound ranches was marooned south of the city.
