1 heavy snow, as filed by the National Weather Service.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
1 heavy snow. Local standard time, as filed.
An 81-year-old Rawlins man died when his car slid off an icy Rawlins street, crashed through a small fence and tumbled over a 17-foot retaining wall, landing on its roof. Several inches of snow fell 11/09, making roads slick.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
