Snow prompts road closures at Yellowstone

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Blowing and drifting snow has prompted the temporary closure of several roads at Yellowstone National Park.

The National Park Service says heavy snowfall since Wednesday evening is causing limited visibility at some park roads. Some of the closed roads Thursday include Mammoth Hot Springs to Norris, the West Entrance to Madison and Madison to Old Faithful.

There was no word on when the roads may reopen.
