During that same period, a spring storm delivered wind-driven snow to parts of northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska. Denver, Colorado, reported 6.0 inches of snow on that date, along with a peak northerly wind gust to 49 mph.
Some snow fell in the region’s mountainous areas. But according to the U.S Drought Monitor there was little overall change in the drought depiction, except for some removal of moderate drought (D1) in northwestern Colorado.
