While the snow tapered off late yesterday in the western part of the state, gusty winds are still causing problems for those traveling. The National Weather Service says cross winds could impact travel on Interstate 80 in Sweetwater County. The wind has caused at least five truck rollovers. One tractor-trailer was knocked over while parked at a rest area near Elk Mountain. A gust of 81 mph was reported near Cheyenne just after 1 p.m. Thursday. Preliminary figures show that the highest mountains in the Tetons got about 20 inches of snow from the storm but a mix of snow and rain fell in Jackson. Gusty winds are expected again today.
