I-80 Now Open After Snowstorm

All of Interstate 80 between Laramie and Cheyenne is now open to traffic but the highway remains slick. The 50-mile stretch of highway was shut down Tuesday night because of a snowstorm. U.S. 287 remains closed from Laramie into Colorado.
The storm that brought snow to a large section of southeast Wyoming is moving out of the state. Cold temperatures will remain through Thursday with wind chills in the single digits in some places. The National Weather Service says around 8 inches fell in the Cheyenne area with higher amounts in the Snowy and southern Laramie ranges. Despite snow causing tree branches to sag, Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power says there have been no reports of power outages.
