IDAHO FALLS – Three local highways remain closed Saturday morning due to blowing and drifting snow.
Idaho Highway 32 between Ashton and Tetonia was closed around 5 p.m. Friday, along with Idaho Highway 33 between Newdale and Tetonia and U.S. Highway 26 between Ririe and Swan Valley.
Megan Stark, a spokeswoman for the Idaho Transportation Department, tells EastIdahoNews.com the wind didn’t get quite as bad as the National Weather Service predicted it would. Crews are plowing the roads and working hard to get them back open. They hope to reopen sometime late Saturday morning, Stark says, depending on weather conditions.

IDAHO FALLS Deputies say a man has died after a shooting in the middle of a Bonneville County Highway last week.
Taylor R. Murrieta, 31, is the man who was shot in the incident that remains under investigation, Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Bryan Lovell says in a news release. Deputies say Murrieta and Donald T. Randall, 42, were in an argument around 11:30 p.m. that led up to the Feb. 16 shooting in the middle of the 3100 block of North Yellowstone Highway.
Lovell says the night of the shooting, someone called 911 saying two men were fighting. Before the first deputy arrived, Randall is alleged to have shot Murrieta, leaving the man with a non-survivable injury. After being rushed to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, Murrieta remained on life support until he died a few days later.
