A large spring snowstorm brought a second day of winter-like weather to Wyoming. The system shut down miles of highways, damaged a marina at Flaming Gorge Reservoir and broke windows at the Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs. The storm is expected to end in Wyoming by Wednesday but not before leaving behind 6 to 20 inches of snow in many areas and temperatures about 40 degrees cooler than just a couple of days ago. About 20 inches of snow had fallen near Lander with higher amounts in nearby mountains, while a foot or more fell in the Riverton, Casper and Torrington areas. Five-foot drifts have been reported in some rural areas of eastern Wyoming.
