Winter weather

The weather service says the winter weather could cause hazardous travel conditions.

According to a social media post from WYDOT, Sand Draw Road, southeast of Riverton, was closed on Sunday due to winter weather conditions causing a plow truck to be pulled off of the road.

Both Casper Walmart locations (East 2nd Street and CY Avenue) have announced on social media that they will be closed Sunday, March 14 due to winter weather conditions.

The state basketball tournament set at the Swede Erickson Thunderbird Gym will continue as planned, however.

The district says school buildings and district facilities will be closed. Bus routes will not run and all district activities have been canceled.

Closing out the week and heading into the weekend, more snow and dangerous wind chills are expected to hang around in the area.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation suggests 'No Unnecessary Travel' for various parts of Wyoming today, due to snow, slick roads, wind and cold temperatures.

The heaviest snow is expected to fall Saturday, according to the report.

Winter weather has forced the closure or restrictions on a number of Wyoming's highways Wednesday evening.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured and had to go to the hospital.

Winter weather and related crashes have forced the closure of multiple Wyoming highways as of 9:45 p.m. Sunday.

That means the protocol for reporting minor car crashes has changed significantly.
