May Snowstorm: Wyoming And Colorado Covered By Blanket Of Snow

Spring has sprung -- just not in the Midwest.

About 10 inches of snow plagued Wyoming Wednesday morning, and Colorado is expecting up to 3 feet in the north by the end of the day.

This out-of-season storm is the fourth over the span of a few weeks, which closed roads and schools as the area was covered in wet snow.

Despite the unseasonable weather, residents of Wyoming are pleased with the amount of moisture in the area due to the storms as it is providing relief from the state's current drought, the CS Monitor reported.

Earlier last month, up to 84 percent of Wyoming was rated with severe -- or worse -- drought conditions.

In some parts of Wyoming, the heavy snowfall has caused power outages scattered across the state due to fallen tree branches.

Spring snow is heavier so the weight of that snow on the lines ... it affects the operation of the line," Sharon Fain, spokeswoman for Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power, told the CS Monitor.

Meanwhile, the Colorado Department of Transportation sent 60 to 80 plows to clear the roads, according to CNN.

The lower parts of Colorado could see up to a foot of snow, which will most likely turn to slush if the weather continues to fluctuate. In Denver, the roads were slick as the snow did not want to stick after the brief warm weather stint earlier this week.

Residents of both states could be seen wearing thick coats and knitted hats, a stark contract to what was happening just days prior. Still, the change appears to be welcome.

"I expect this. Yup. It's better than living where it's warm and dry and nice all the time. At least we get a variety," Chris Lujan of Denver told Yahoo News.
