"It's like we've already shot ourselves in the left foot and now we're aiming to the right ... the high elevation snowpack just keeps getting bigger and with the cold weather this week, we won't see major melting until June," said Randy Julander, a supervisor with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead called the situation regarding heavy snowpack and the potential for flooding around the state "a grave concern."

Snowpack in the Snowy Range in southeastern Wyoming is the highest in at least four decades, the Wyoming Department of Transportation said Tuesday.
