Summer snow shocks parts of the western U.S.

While much of the United States basked in summery temperatures, perplexed residents of Utah, Idaho and Montana woke up to snow yesterday.

Winter just won't quit in the Northern Rockies, where a swirling upper-level low left Alta, Utah with nine inches of snowfall on Tuesday - their third highest one-day snowfall total in June ever.

The snow came as a wave of heavy rain drenched southern Minnesota early Wednesday, flooding streets in Mankato and causing mudslides that forced the closure of some highways.


Meanwhile, Nebraska is still reeling after deadly tornadoes tore through the state, and New Mexico is battling wildfires that threaten to destroy Native American homes, farm land and livestock.
