CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The first widespread snowstorm of the season is hitting Wyoming, dropping up to a foot of snow and causing poor travel conditions in much of the state.
Much of the state was under a winter weather advisory Thursday with winter storm warnings posted for Sheridan County in northern Wyoming and along the Wind River Range in the central part of the state.
Lander and areas of Yellowstone National Park were estimated to have received a foot of snow. Up to 5 inches of snow fell on ski resorts in Jackson Hole.
Many roads around the state were slick. Among road closures Thursday because of the weather were a 50-mile stretch of Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie and northbound I-25 between Cheyenne and the Colorado state line.
