Some areas have received 6 inches or more over the past 12 hours or so. The agency posted this statement on it's website early Tuesday morning:

June 9th 2020 Morning Update: No, this isn't an old graphic from February nor is it December 2020 yet. It really is June. Heavy snow continues above 7000 feet early this morning with snow packed roads observed on the Interstate 80 Summit. Numerous snowfall reports of over 6 inches of snow across the southern Laramie Range and even across portions of the Laramie Valley.
