Tough to say for spring time around there. Here's WyoRoad website, and it has real time pics near the I-80 summit (about 8 miles east of the Voo by old abe)http://www.wyoroad.info/...ummit/I80Summit.html

Looks like snow there. I'll be in the area this weekend though.

Unless we get another snow storm like we had last night (which could be in the cards) expect highs in the 50s to 60s, lows in the 30s. Wind is (and always will be) an issue, but most of the snow was gone in the main areas when I was out there last week. If you go to the more protected (and thus out of the way) places like Lichen Lung or Valley Massif, you'll probably encounter more snow on the way in. The rock itself looks to be pretty dry. The upper gate is still closed, so be prepared to walk a long ways. Vedauwoo road is clear from I-80 all the way to Happy Jack (yes it does connect) and the trail out to Reynold's Hill is mostly clear.

Have a good time.

I climbed in the Reynolds hill area last weekend, there was very little snow and nice temps. You never know though, could be a blizzard any time up there.
