Anyone live in Wyoming? Is it a good place to live? Is the weather scary? Mmm?

Answer 1

for the most part Wyoming is dry high plains. It gets cold but that is due to the lack of humidity so it is not usually uncomfortable. Most snow storms will evaporate overnight. The western edge of the state (Jackson/Yellowstone) does get more rain and snow tracking in from the west coast.

While a snow does not bring a lot of moisture, the winds can whip up a blizzard making driving difficult. The winds also will blow drifts onto the roads which sometimes takes hours for the highway department to clear off. it is best to delay trips a day if it is storming in Winter.

The climate is mostly favorable and people may enjoy the clear air (stars at night), clean water and open vistas. Some easterners get spooked by the lack of civilization (gas stations) between towns. The University is at Laramie which is 7200 foot elevation, this takes a while to adjust to the high altitude. Elevation on the eastern slope is 5000 foot, communities in the north and west are closer to 4000 foot. always adjust your baking for high altitude.
