More than 60 million people were under winter weather alerts early Thursday morning from the West into the northern Plains, Great Lakes region, New York and New England, before warnings began to quickly drop off across the Northern Plains and Great Lakes. Heavy snow had already hit some of these areas over the past two days – including, as of early Thursday, more than 40 inches in parts of southern Wyoming; up to 32 inches in northwestern Montana; and generally 3-6 inches across Nebraska and the Dakotas. concat(t,'\n \n\n You're watching a daily free preview\n \n\n You're watching a daily free preview\n \n
