What a remarkable string of major snowstorms! Three blizzards in a row, two
for the northern Plains and one for the southern Plains. Now a fourth storm
will bring snow, but no blizzard, to parts of the central and southern Plains
on Wednesday night into Thursday.
As if all this were not enough, still another storm will cut a path across the Rockies to the Great Plains, this time at week's end. It will bring snow and, at its worst, could whip up yet another blizzard.
However, one thing will be different this time. This storm will target the stretch of Plains crossed by Interstate 80, mostly over Nebraska and eastern Wyoming and it will reach south into Colorado along I-25 to at least Denver. At its worst, this storm will leave a windswept snowfall of 6-12 inches, which could be disruptive enough to interrupt travel along the major highways in this region.
