Yes, thanks Kim, I-80, not I-84.You may be right about the absence of people living there.  But there were lots on the road, despite the conditions.  At a rest area we stopped at, people huddled inside the building for a long stretch before braving the wind back to their vehicles. We spent a night in Rawlins.  Bonnie was quite literally blown off her feet by the wind in the motel parking lot.  mcneely

So far as the drive out, after doing it, I will only say:  Never drive across Wyoming on I-84 in winter.  We made it fine, but 50 mph cross winds and heavy blowing snow are not my idea of fun.  When I asked the "information provider" at the Wyoming Welcome Center if I should wait for better driving conditions, she asked, "What  you want to wait till summer?"  A while after I was committed to the drive, notices were posted advising high profile vehicles to get off the road, and later the road was closed to high profile vehicles.  We were in the Prius, and continued, but made only 380 miles that day, including a long stretch of good driving in Colorado.  The Blue Mountains in Oregon required chains, tto, but only for 20 miles or so.
