As of 12:01 p.m. EDT on April 19, 2025, Lander, WY recorded a remarkable 26 inches of snow, with other nearby locations also reporting substantial accumulation. Areas south and west of Lander, including areas like 7 SW and 9 S Lander, also saw heavy snowfall amounts, ranging from 20 to 23 inches.
According to the National Weather Service, this storm is being fueled by a low-pressure system moving through the region.

The storm is expected to continue through the weekend, with snow spreading into southern Wyoming and the northern Colorado Rockies.

The snowstorm marks a powerful close to the Easter weekend, with severe weather expected to affect the central U.S. into Sunday.
