Sunshine and warmer temperatures are following the latest snowstorm to hit Wyoming this spring. Monday's storm dropped up to 13 inches of snow in some mountain areas. Lower elevations received generally 2 to 6 inches. The storm brought record cold to the state. Cheyenne's 11 degree reading overnight tied a 140-year record set in 1873. The temperature dipped to 16 below near Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park. Casper dropped to 9 degrees, and Worland 8. But the National Weather Service says temperatures will warm up to 70 degrees this weekend. Travel remained touchy early Tuesday morning with slick areas primarily in central and southeast Wyoming. However, conditions improved as the day wore on. One fatal accident Monday on Interstate 25 in Natrona County is being blamed on slick roads.
