00:00Wyoming's highest mountains faced the possibility of a foot of snow in mid-October.
00:05The National Weather Service issued winter weather advisories for mountain areas in Wyoming and Nevada.
00:11Near Wyoming's Wind River Range, forecasters expected 3 to 12 inches of snow at elevations above 9,000 feet.
00:19Lower elevations were forecast to receive considerably less.
00:22In Nevada's Ruby Mountains and East Humboldt Range, the forecast called for 5 to 10 inches.
00:28The advisories warned that snow could make mountain roads slippery and travel difficult.
00:33South Pass in Wyoming was among the areas where hazardous travel conditions could affect commuters.
00:39This was part of a broader early-season blast of winter weather across the western United States.
00:45The article also reported that parts of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming had received up to 2 feet of snow during
00:52the preceding weekend.
00:53But there is an important distinction.
00:55These figures were forecasts, not confirmed final snowfall totals.
01:00And while forecasters were watching the developing El Nino pattern for the coming winter,
01:05that does not prove it caused this particular storm.
01:08For mountain travelers, the immediate lesson is simple.
01:11Check official forecasts and road conditions before setting out.
