Record Snow Keeps Snowy Range Closed
Heavy snows in the Snowy Range west of Laramie will prevent the State Transportation Department from clearing the road across the mountains by its traditional opening date on Memorial Day weekend.
Wydot spokesman Ross Doman says old timers can't remember a year that the road wasn't open by the holiday. Crews began clearing Wyoming 130 from both the Saratoga and Laramie sides of the mountain range earlier this month. Doman says additional snow has fallen every day on the workers and some drifts are over 30 feet high.
