West Mountain Area Is Choked By Snow More Than 1,500 Persons Marooned By United Press ’The mountain area of the west today was choked under the worst 'winterlong accumulation of snows in 60 years. More than 1,500 persons were maroonep. Supplies were running low. Major ‘transcontinental highways were blocked — and more snow was falling. In addition, the late season snowfall greatly increased the danger of floods in the event of a sudden thaw which would loose uncounted tons of water from the mountains. ' j In northeastern Colorado and Wyoming, a fresh spring snow — the worst since the jJaralyzing snows of December—struck. Forecasters said it would go “over a foot” in Denver. The public bus system tn Denver. whcih daily Carries 20,000 persons. Was stopped by the storm. And bus operations over the 1 ighways out of Denyenalso were Stalled /“are, some at "crazy angles, streets. Others were stalled on vital through highways when they failbed to climb hiJJs. At least four persons were dead in Colorado and Montana—three in traffic accidents caused by the’ weather and the fourth probably from carbon monoxide poisoning.’ ' Farther to the west in the §ierra,j Nevada mountains, ranchers faced I a possible slo.ooo.ooo'property and I livestock loss. .
