Casper College Campus to Remain Closed on Wednesday

Casper College announced Tuesday afternoon that it will extend its closure through Wednesday due to challenging travel conditions and extreme drifting of snow.

The College announced earlier Monday that it was closing the campus, but didn't say whether that would extend to Tuesday, which it did.

Likewise on Tuesday, the College didn't say if the Wednesday closure would extend to Thursday.

Tuesday afternoon, the Riverton office of the National Weather Service said the blizzard warning that shut down central Wyoming would end at 6 p.m.
