Blizzard warnings are up in Wyoming as a wintry storm moves across the state. Steve Rubin of the National Weather Service in Cheyenne said Friday that Douglas, Wheatland and Lusk are expecting winds up to 40 miles per hour and up to 15 inches of snow. Rubin said the conditions could be really dangerous for those areas beginning around noon. The heaviest snow is generally expected to fall east of the Continental Divide, with some mountains possibly receiving up to 30 inches. Snow began falling in the mountains of central and western Wyoming on Thursday, with some places receiving half a foot. The Weather Service warned of likely power outages and hazardous travel conditions in many areas.
