    I-80 through WY is a bitch of a road in winter

      Very true. I 40 was a much preferred route for me in the winter.

    I talked with a highway guy about I-80 through Wyoming. He said in the old days the roads followed the land and took advantage of the terrain to minimize snow cover. Interstates just forge ahead in a straight line with snow impacts unimagined in the past

    That area is home to some brutal big rig wrecks in the winter. There’s a reason that there’s gates with forced road closures on most of the side highways and snow fences everywhere.!
