Wet spring snows hit Rockies, Nebraska

DENVER — A spring storm that has brought over a foot of snow to parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska and thunderstorms and tornadoes to the Midwest was slowing down travelers and left some without power Monday morning.

The weather shut down a 150-mile stretch of Interstate 80 in Wyoming as well as a portion in neighboring Nebraska.

Denver got about 5 inches of snow from the storm that intensified on Mother’s Day, but the snow mostly accumulated on the greening grass and trees, rather than sticking to roadways. The lingering snow slowed down Monday morning’s commute in the metro area but driving conditions were worse in the mountains, where over a foot fell in some spots.
