Title: Post your snow photos here
Post by: MichaelNotMike on September 30, 2009, 10:02:37 PM

I propose this as an ongoing fun, winter-long thread.
I'm pretty excited. My first snow in 22 years. DJ's first snow ever.

Rich, that's from last year. Like January or something, right? You're gonna scare folks off if they think that's Fall in Wyoming!

Let's see one of Hannah in the snow today!

There's still snow on the roofs here in Casper this morning, but it's not completely covering lawns. Maybe a half inch, with some green peaking through. Will likely melt tomorrow or the next day.

We got our first snow during the night. Maybe 1". All the trees are white and my decks are covered. Beautiful. Glad I'm not going out for a few days. Might all be melted by this evening.

I turned on my heater for the 1st time this season. It's about 30F out and windy. Good day to stay inside.

Not snow from this year but thought I'd share. Picture taken from the front door of the trailer we stay in when we go hunting each fall NE of Gillette. This was taken last year on the last day there.

Got about 1/10 of an inch of snow in Casper today.
Should get more this weekend, will take photos if we do.
Casper Mountain is about half-covered with snow.

Most of the big acreage places in Wyoming are owned by Chicago investment bankers... Us little folks try to get by with enough land to grow taters and bury a relative or two.

Yes

Post by: MichaelNotMike on October 09, 2009, 05:43:59 PM

Our original plan was 40 rural acres.
But Paul Bonneau pretty much talked us out of it.

I like living in the "snuburbs" (suburbs within the city.)

Post by: colonial shooter on October 09, 2009, 05:53:08 PM

I do both, in the city and have the 40 for when I need it. BTW thanks Michael, we are now getting the white stuff.... pretty deep here. Also in Casper

I chopped some wood today, felt like Jeremiah Johnson!
Also walked a mile round trip in the snow to a dentist appointment.

First time I've worked or walked in snow in 23 years. Was pretty nifty.

I noticed this thread after posting something else, and thought I'd add a couple.  This is 4" of snow and 50 MPH wind.  DON'T put your garage door on the leeward side of your home.   ;)

And when it's not snowing, it's doing something else.  This is a pretty typical August storm...

Best to all from Wonderful Wyoming.

That photo of the door open and the snow completly covering the opening used to be common in the winter when I was growing up. We had to keep snow shovels and pails inside and tunnel out....  >:(

Post by: MANUMIT on March 13, 2010, 09:01:07 AM

Just yesterday had an old-timer buddy tell me the exact same thing...

Down in town (where there is hardly any snow anymore) they used to tunnel out everyday!!  Also, up on the mountain where we were snowmobiling, the current 6-7' used to regularly be 20'+...

Some global-warming is a good thing for a few things...I guess  :-\

City Slicker Michael,  You are not alone.  I lived my whole life in the country, mostly in backwoods Arkansas.  Now I'm stuck here on a couple of city lots but it is on the edge of town.

Not much snow here in the banana belt but I was told yesterday that the ice on the little lake out east of town is 30" thick.  What, two and a half feet?  This is only my second Wyoming winter and I thought we had a pretty mild winter.  I wonder if that's normal ice thickness.

Just something to Ponder. Warmer temperatures means more moisture in the air. More moisture means more snow. ;D
My grandfather used to complain how huimid Wyoming was. ??? It hasent seemed Humid to me in a long time. When I was a kid in the  1960'S AND 1970'S there were tornadoes in Fremont county where I lived almost every year. I remember a huge one in 62 or so. I havent heard much about tornadoes in the last 20 years or so. So I think as it gets warmer, we will get more snow and tornadoes.

Well, don't get bent out of shape with all this warming stuff.  The earth goes thru climate cycles, the last few years have been warmer, but we are now entering a cooling cycle again like in the 60's / 70's.  Any of you guys remember what the environmentalists were ranting back then?  We were going to eventually freeze to death.
