BIG SPRINGS, Neb. (AP) — Officials have closed Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 30 in the Nebraska Panhandle because of a spring snowstorm in Wyoming. KNEB reports both westbound highways were closed Sunday at Big Springs because Wyoming officials had already closed both highways at the state border.

Wyoming transportation officials requested the closures because of the heavy, wet snow that is causing problems in southeast Nebraska. The highways will likely be closed for much of Sunday.
