In some parts of Wyoming, major roads have closed. In many other parts of Wyoming, travel has slowed to a crawl. WYDOT's Interactive map has real time information. 

According to The National Weather Service, this winter storm could last into Tuesday.

According to Don Day, of Day Weather, some parts of Wyoming will only get a few inches of snow while some will get over a foot. But the real problem will be wind blowing snow over the roads and bringing travel to a halt.
