More on WY winter 2023

[wytx]

SE Wyo. has had mostly wind and cold. At least east of Laramie. Had snow in Jan., but mostly melted now.

SE Wyoming get hammered too?

Laramie area has been ok, doing actually pretty good up through Sybille Canyon area.
More North is not as good.
We've been windblown clear for a while now.
Snowies have tons of snow and Laramie Peak as well. Vedauwoo has drifts but not snow covered.

I sent you a pm.

Major storm underway in just about all parts of WY. For Casper, we are forecasted to get ~15-20". Overnight lows are going to dip back into single digits so it will be getting cold again as well. I hate to say it, but this may be the final blow for animals barely holding on.

Correction….totals upgraded to 24-30”. We have gotten a stupid amount of snow today and they are also calling for 50-65mph gusts. Im now worried I may be on the chopping block for the winter kill.

Anybody got any of that global warming?

Casper broke a an all-time record for daily snowfall yesterday....26.7". It continued all night and is still dumping now. I'm guessing we will be well over 3ft once it's all said and done.

Sat on I80 for 4 hrs last night between Evanston and Green River.
Lazy ass truckers that don't chain up.
not much traffic after that though.

Six or eight more inches over night. Afton over a foot.

Wow, again not much for us at up the road a few miles nothing.
Really feeling it for you guys near Casper and elsewhere.
This is the big one for April I hope.

No real chain law here for truckers BR, not sure I've every seen one chained up in Wyoming.

Stay safe all.

Dang man
terrible to read and the pics are brutal

try to remember that these things are tough and they’ve endured worse

They actually haven't endured worse. This is a once every 100 year type of winter for many parts of Wyoming and surrounding states. Tough only goes so far.

Law or not when its ice with snow common sense would say that chains would keep you from being sideways guard rail to guard rail

Plenty of truck drivers out there capable of keeping it between the lines. The problem is the lack of training before they throw some of these rookies out on the road. I'm not sure chains can fix that but I agree, it wouldn't hurt.

 

[wytx]

They won't chain up unless they are forced too.

So question is where is this going to put tag availability for deer and antelope

what thing are WY fish and game talking about

I’m assuming it’s still a little too early to see what the final tally is

There will be massive license reductions and possibly shorter seasons in some areas. It will be several weeks before they meet to set final seasons and quotas.

With the average lifespan of animals, none have seen or experienced a winter like this one

Won't it happen at the Commission meeting scheduled for April 17-18? That's only 2 weeks.

Great I might be sitting on 15 antelope points before I get a good tag
bummer for sure all the way around
