Winter Storm Selene clobbered areas from Denver to southeastern Wyoming Wednesday morning, dumping large amounts of snowfall at a very rapid rate.

Up to 16 inches of snow was recorded in California as the system made its way across the West Coast. In parts of Wyoming and Colorado, more than a foot of snow have already fallen, and more is on the way. As a result, schools have been closed and meteorologists fear the heavy, wet snow could lead to power outages.

Here’s the latest from this winter storm.

Denver Public Schools were closed Wednesday as Selene hit eastern Colorado hard with big snowfall rates that made travel difficult. At Denver International Airport, more than 250 flights into and out of the city were canceled, according to FlightAware.

More than 37,000 customers were without power Wednesday morning, according to Xcel Energy.

In addition to DPS, several other school districts were also closed Wednesday. The Denver Post has a complete list.

Selene forced the closure of Interstate 80 from Cheyenne to Laramie– about 50 miles of freeway– on Wednesday morning, according to the state Department of Transportation.

I-25 from Cheyenne to the Colorado state line was also closed Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service reported whiteout conditions Wednesday morning in Cheyenne.

The storm also affected campaign stops in the presidential race. Sen. Bernie Sanders canceled appearances in Laramie and Casper on Wednesday, the Associated Press reported, and former President Bill Clinton canceled a visit to Cheyenne on behalf of his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In areas of the Sierra Nevada, strong winds and snowfall made driving conditions difficult, causing a rollover accident west of Kingvale on I-80, according to ABC 10.

Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation, urged drivers to be alert during the wet and snowy conditions in the Sierra.

"Two things, slow down and be alert," David Wood, a spokesperson for Caltrans, told FOX 40. "Don't let anything distract you. It takes a lot longer to stop on snow, and you never know what's around the corner."

During the storm, an NWS storm report clocked a 113-mph wind gust at the White Mountain Summit Research Station.
