11 Oct 08 - The National Weather Service has issued
winter storm watches for many parts of the Rockies, including Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Up to 51cm (20 inches) of snow is forecast by
Sunday night. (Some areas had already received 16 inches by Friday
night. See

Many parts of southern Montana and northern Wyoming have already been
blanketed with snow. Road conditions are becoming dangerous and power
outages have been reported. Several flights have been delayed or
diverted and trees have been downed.
Further south, Hurricane Norbert - a powerful storm in the eastern
