Thursday, Early Wyoming Snow Driving Conditions


That white stuff out there is called snow. Plow drivers are out there trying to remember what they do. It’s been a while. This was not a major snow event, but it was enough to impact the entire state and region.

If you are traveling this Thursday, 02/19/26, you’ll want to look at this map from WYDOT, BELOW showing early morning road conditions for the Cowboy State.

Watch for snowy roads and considerable black ice across the entire state.

Today will be very cold, but those roads will warm up somewhat due to traffic. The snow that warms will turn to black ice.

The good news is that most of our main roads across Wyoming show tricky, high caution conditions, but very few are closed. The closed ones are marked in red on the map below.

Most of our region won’t warm up past freezing until Sunday. That will keep some snow, but also that black ice on the roads.

Expect some breezy conditions, but thankfully, not the heavy wind that blows the snow back across our roads.

We should warm up into the 40s for daytime highs next week. There is a possibility of another front like this one moving through by next Wednesday or Thursday, but that forecast is too far out to say for sure. We will have to keep an eye on it.
