winds developed in the deep, cyclonic

evacuation of trailer on State Route
9. A slow moving storm tracked through
the Appalachians and into the

9. A slow moving storm tracked through
the Appalachians and into the
Northeast on Saturday, April 2nd,
and lasted through the 4th of April.
This storm produced an extended period
of heavy rain. Rain developed during
the pre-dawn hours Saturday and picked
up during the morning. The heaviest
rain occurred Saturday afternoon and
evening. Lighter rain, some mixing
with snow, persisted on Sunday and
Monday. This rainfall, combined with
the effects of earlier rains that fell
over the region toward the end of
March, produced widespread flooding
and damage. The heaviest rain and
worst flooding occurred in Ulster and
Greene Counties; West Shokan reported
6.15 inches of rain, with 5.54 inches
reported at East Jewett and 5.50
reported at Tannersville. The early

winds developed in the deep, cyclonic

Winter Storm
A strong spring storm developed across
the Central Rockies and moved across
the Central Plains. This storm brought
heavy snow to Campbell County, far
western parts of Crook and Weston
Counties, and the higher elevations
of the Wyoming Black Hills. Rain
changed to snow during the overnight
hours and continued through the day.
Snow amounts of 6 to 12 inches fell
across Campbell County, with local
amounts of 15 inches in western parts
of the county. Western parts of Crook
and Weston Counties and the Wyoming
Black Hills had accumulations of 4
to 8 inches. The heavy wet snow caused
numerous power outages and brought
down tree limbs across the area. A
roof of a convenience store collapsed
under the weight of the snow. Many
highways across Campbell County,
including Interstate 90 west of
Moorcroft, were closed for much of
the day.
