Winter Storm Regis Hits Rockies, Northeast (PHOTOS)

March 22,2016
Winter Storm Regis dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of the eastern Rockies and took aim at New England early in the week.
The storm closed schools in multiple states on Monday, and air travel was also impacted. Officials warned commuters to exercise caution while driving on snow-covered roads, but in Connecticut, several tractor-trailers crashed, and numerous spinouts were reported Monday morning.
No major injuries have been reported from the storm's snowy blast in New England, but a bus slid off a snowy road in Buxton, Maine. The students were all removed from the bus and taken to school shortly after the crash.

The storm's first round clobbered parts of the High Plains. Heavy snow forced the Wyoming Department of Transportation to close a stretch of Interstate 80 from Laramie to Cheyenne – nearly 50 miles of roadway – on Thursday.
In Colorado, a snow plow flipped onto its side Friday morning in Denver's Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, CBS Denver reported. There were no injuries, but the plow remained on its side for a few hours, the report added.
We have created the gallery at the top of this page to show you the best imagery from Regis.
