For everyone who is considering moving to WY…

[cnelk]

A week ago I took this pic of the wind sock just south of Wheatland

Right after that I saw a pickup/trailer in the median that had blown over - zoom in on the pic and you can see it.

They disregarded the wind restrictions for light/high profile vehicles.

If the wind ever stopped blowing in Wyoming all the people would fall down

I mean, if he wasnt pouring the coffee 3 miles from the cup, it would've been fine. Its a scare tactic. The wind in WY isnt anything compared to ID. If you're thinking of moving to any mountain states, I strongly advise against ID due to winds. WY has a couple gusty days over all.

I live in WY and we’ve had some serious wind this week. You just have to deal with it. Dang tumble weeds are terrible this year. Anyone wants some I can send you truck loads of them.

The best one was the video a couple years ago north of Cody of the stock trailer tumbling across the flats after it got ripped free from the truck pulling it.

Whenever someone posts about moving to Wyoming, someone always posts about the wind.

I don’t think people really grasp what a factor the wind will be in their lives if they decide to move to WY.

Here’s an example of what people are warning others about:

I see the problem, he needs to move the coffee cup further to his left.

Definitely been a bit windy the past few days. At least it's been warm though

My dad and I were wrapping up a MT hunt and were driving some back roads west of Biddle, our last day of hunting. My dad had a permit left and shot a deer. We tagged and gutted it, dragged it to the truck and threw it in the trailer. The weather/wind got real bad and we basically limped into Gillette and got a room. Tried to get a tarp over the deer that night but was not possible. 8-10" of snow that night and drove back to MO the next day. That country is not for the weak.

I drove past that trailer laying on its side before they got a wrecker to get it out of the field.

Should have seen us trying to get sheathing on the roof of a shop house on Monday. We had to do it because wind was scheduled to get worse.

This morning I gave someone a ride who is not from WY and when they went to get in my truck they said “it’s locked” to which I said “No, it’s the wind pushing the door, pull harder”. Two hands on the door handle and a bit of oomph got the door to open despite the wind.

Im so glad I dont really sheat roofs anymore. Days with wind were the most unjoyous days.

I’ll never forget driving across SD on vacation a few years ago with the steering wheel cocked over 20 degrees to one side to stay straight in the interstate.

Then every time we passed a bridge or truck that blocked the wind, I had to jerk the wheel back straight for a moment. Tough driving. But gorgeous country.

Did the wind also blow his chin away, or is that a genetic adaptation that helps the locals be more aerodynamic?
