"A severe storm dumped several inches of hail on Estes Park Wednesday night, stalling traffic and prompting the need for snowplows to clean up the mess. The storm hit just before 10 p.m. with hail that was likely smaller than 1 inch, but there was a lot of it – enough to trap vehicles on East Elkhorn Avenue (U.S. 36)." - 9News

Winter Storm, High Wind

"On February 6, 2017, a combination of a strong Pacific trough and cold front, an ample supply of moisture combined to bring very heavy snow to much of western Wyoming. The highest amounts fell in the Tetons where almost 3 feet of new snow occurred at the Jackson Hole Ski resort. Heavy snow also fell in the Salt and Wyoming Range where 32 inches of snow occurred at the Indian Creek SNOTEL. Other heavy snowfall amounts included 25 inches at Deer Creek in the Wind River Range, 18 inches at Two Oceans Plateau in Yellowstone, 16 inches near Wilson, and 8 inches in Cody Alpine. The heavy snow combined with gusty winds to produce very low visibility and avalanches that shut down many roads including Teton Pass, Hoback Junction and South Pass. In Jackson, the heavy snow load caused the collapse of the roof onto the Sears Department Store. In addition, strong winds occurred on the evening of the 7th. These strong winds combined with heavy wet snow to down 17 power poles along Highway 390. This led to a power outage that lasted through the 11th. Near Teton Village, strong winds estimated over 70 mph, combined with heavy snow to down 17 power poles which led to a power outage lasting through the 11th. Jackson Hole Ski resort was closed through Monday the 13th. Meanwhile, strong wind occurred east of the Divide and across southern Wyoming. The maximum wind gusts included 96 mph at Camp Creek in the Green and Rattlesnake Range, 72 mph near Lander and 65 mph along Outer Drive south of Casper." - WY Hazard Mitigation Plan 2021-2026

"On October 19, 2019, a deepening low pressure system and frontal boundary moved across the region producing widespread high winds across southeastern Wyoming with light snowfall while in Carbon County blizzard conditions were reported by Arlington stopping traffic for a period of time. Heavy snow was reported in the mountain ranges in the area with close to two feet in the highest spots of the Snowy Range heavy snow accumulations were estimated by several area sensors including the Blackhall Mountain with 16.5 inches of snowfall and the Webber Springs with 12.0 inches. A huntsman went missing during the snowstorm prompting area search and rescue, cadaver dogs and civil air patrols in hopes of finding and recovering the individual. After a week of searching, the Carbon County Sheriff's Office suspended the operations. Given that the individual has not been recovered, a proper autopsy to determine likely cause of death remains unknown though given the winter elements of wind, snow and subsequent freezing temperatures, assumption will be made to declare the fatality as direct." - WY Hazard Mitigation Plan 2021-2026

"Unprecedented precipitation and flooding clobbered Yellowstone National Park starting Sunday, destroying bridges, making roads impassable, stranding scores of people and wreaking untold havoc on infrastructure within Northwest Wyoming’s tourism engine. The scope of the damage prompted park officials to close all park entrances Monday.
A U.S. Geological Survey gauge on the Lamar River near the Tower Ranger Station tells the tale of the remarkable weather event. The tributary to the Yellowstone River on Monday topped 18,000 cubic feet of water per second, which surpassed the previous daily record by nearly 50%. The Lamar rose so high that its peak water level, 17 feet over the riverbed, surpassed the gauge’s “operational limit” by 2 feet, and the water level was 5 feet higher than during any other time in 82 years of recordkeeping.
The Yellowstone River water level at the Corwin gauge approached 14 feet, shattering a 104-year-old record by 2.5 feet, according to its USGS monitor." - WyoFile

"Flooding hit the Crystal Mountain area of Larimer County, about 100 miles north of Denver, submerging roads and bridges. The sheriff’s office had received reports of a camping trailer containing a woman and girl that had swept away. The authorities found the two of them dead on Friday evening.
Floods also destroyed one home and caused minor damage to at least five others, according to the authorities. The U.S. Forest Service has temporarily closed large swaths of land in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests nearby, and crews stayed out until late Saturday evening to repair roads." - The New York Times
