 CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Snow and rain fell across Wyoming and Utah Wednesday, unleashing rock slides and flooding at lower elevations while prompting a mountain resort to fire up its lifts for extra skiing.
The potent spring storm dropped several inches of rain on northern Wyoming and nearly 2 feet of snow in the mountains, renewing hopes the state could emerge from a yearslong drought that has devastated rangeland grasses.
"We're taking a jackhammer to that drought the last few days," said Jim Fahey, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Riverton.
