Why not go to the Yellowstone NP web site and find the answers there? Here's the link:

Mammoth is the only campground open all year round; all the others are closed during the winter.
As for the weather conditions, here's what I found on the web site:
Winter: Temperatures often range from zero to 20F(-20 to -5C) throughout the day. Sub-zero temperatures over-night are common. The record low temperature is -66F (-54C). Snowfall is highly variable. While the average is 150 inches per year, it is not uncommon for higher elevations to get twice that amount.
Freezing cold? Yes! Could you survive? Yes, if you take the proper precautions. If not, then you'll become another statistic and your relatives will be sad.
