Snowstorm closes Yellowstone entrances

Snowstorm closes Yellowstone entrances




YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) - The south and east entrances of Yellowstone National Park were closed Wednesday because of heavy, wet snow.




Snow also forced the closure of Craig Pass between West Thumb and Old Faithful in the park and Bear Tooth Pass on U.S. 212 at the Montana-Wyoming border east of the park.




Snow has also caused slippery road conditions in the Jackson Hole area, including Grand Teton National Park.




The National Weather Service posted winter storm warnings for Yellowstone and mountain areas of northern Wyoming with up to 14 inches of snow possible.




High wind warnings were posted for parts of central and eastern Wyoming.
