Wyoming Travler's Aide

On Friday, I wrote about the winter weather advisory in Denver and Wyoming and the Legal Dude’s drive from the Denver airport to Laramie later that night.

I wanted to mention the assistance that the WYDOT provides to residents, year round, via the 511 travel information service.



WYDOT 511 provides minute to minute updates on road surface conditions, travel advisories, road closures (both temporary and seasonal), current weather conditions (blowing snow, fog, poor visibility) and short-term weather forecasts.

Or you can go online and see road conditions and road surfaces---the latter can be pretty difficult to see at night.

These are photos from the web cam for this evening, which looks pretty clear...



Unfortunately, the weather, especially at the Summit (which is over 8,000 ft and 15 minutes outside of Laramie) can change quickly.



Just wanted to say give a shout-out to the WYDOT web cams for the help on Friday night, which kept me from pacing.

Instead, I was glued to the web cams...
