Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A brutal winter storm is sweeping across the central United States, burying large swaths of the country in snow and hitting the northern Rockies and Plains with freezing temperatures.
The storm has already dumped more than 15 inches of snow in some parts of the northern Rockies since Sunday, with more to come. Officials have closed sections of I-90 and I-80 in Wyoming, while travel in northern Idaho, western Montana and portions of I-15 is considered hazardous.
