MAY SNOWSTORMS AND TORNADOS


May snowstorm closed hundreds of miles of a highway and snarled traffic in Wyoming and Colorado on Monday, while the Plains cleaned up from tornado damage and expected further frustrations from imminent thunderstorms.

Nearly 400 miles of Interstate-80 in Wyoming were closed after the spring storm dumped up to 3 feet of snow in parts of the state.

The slick roads and poor visibility were also to blame for at least one fatal accident on U.S. Highway 285 southwest of Denver, according to The Associate Press. The slippery roadway became an accident-trap. Two law enforcement cruisers were hit within the same hour after responding to other accidents, the AP reported.
