Winter Storm

Travel could be very difficult along Interstate 80 west of Cheyenne this evening into early Wednesday morning, where up to half a foot of snow could fall.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation has begun closing roads in mountainous areas of Wyoming as a winter storm moves through the area.

The mayor says people should report any situation where the water appears to be backing up over curbs and threatening property as soon as possible.

Zero boys and 374 girls have been given the name Xylia since 1994.

Officials say that the recent winter storm has created perfect avalanche conditions in the area.

The mayor says the snow was so heavy on Sunday that city snowplows were getting stuck.

Imagine opening your front door and seeing nothing but snow and maybe a small crevice of light at the very top left hand corner.

The sheriff's office says its ability to respond is still being hampered by the after-effects of this past weekend's storm.

The University of Wyoming has announced that is will resume classes and other operations Tuesday. This is following an emergency closure Monday due to dangerous winter weather and unsafe travel conditions. While administrative offices and other facilities will be open, employees who are able to work from home are encouraged to do so while UW Operations crews continue to dig out from the weekend sn

Meanwhile, other portions of Interstate 80 might not open until 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Snowplow crews have now begun clearing secondary streets around schools and will move to others after that.

It's probably easier to list the highways in Wyoming that are open than it is the ones that are closed following a record-setting winter storm over the weekend.
