Early snowstorm hits central Wyoming

Snow is falling not only in the mountains of central and northern Wyoming but in lower elevation areas as well. A winter storm warning is in effect for parts of central Wyoming, including Riverton and Lander, until noon Friday. Snow also is falling in Casper and Buffalo, where a winter weather advisory is posted. The National Weather Service reports 2 inches of snow has fallen already in Riverton with 5 inches recorded just outside the city. Up to 8 inches is possible in the surrounding area. Thermopolis reports 4 inches. Up to 20 inches is possible in the mountains. The snow was expected to taper off Friday afternoon. Other than U.S. 212 over Beartooth Pass north of Cody, the snowstorm wasn't hampering traffic although some roads were slick in spots.
