1 min readDenver, April 11.
The snow storm which began on Tuesday and continued intermittently on Wednesday, developed into a blizzard during the night. Throughout eastern Colorado and Wyoming the ground is covered with wet snow to a depth of from one to two feet. No serious damage has been reported. Railroad trains are arriving several hours late this morning. The weather has been comparatively warm. Should it become colder, the wet snow will form a crust, which will make it impossible for cattle and sheep to graze on the ranges, and in that event serious losses of live stock may result.
