Major snowstorm impacting the west-central US
(http://www.tornadovideos.net/images/stories/2009/october/storm_map.png)
The season's first major snowfall is occurring from the Dakotas to Utah and New Mexico, with heavy snow projected to last through tomorrow! Accumulation of more than 18" can be expected over most of the warned areas, with much higher amounts to be expected at higher elevations. This system will also bring very strong winds, meaning that drifting will likely pose a significant problem, especially in the wide-open expanses of eastern Wyoming and Colorado and western Nebraska. Verne Carlson is currently streaming the storm from the Denver area, and reports that they have already picked up 6" at his location.
