Tell me why I shouldn't move to wyoming...

Moving to Wyoming is like wanting to date a gal with a temper - you can chit chat online for a year, spend every other weekend together, learn everything about her, even get her name tattooed on your neck, but until you actually live with her when she’s not on best behavior, you can’t really know if it’s the right flavor of crazy for you. Lol

I think that can be applied to about anywhere...but I totally get your point, hence the extensive research and travels. I love what I've seen and experienced of Wyoming so far...but i dont love anything enough for a neck tatoo You are correct though and I fully understand that you don't know what any place is truly like unti you live there full time. We expect a learning/adaptation period wherever we may go.
Winters will be a change I'm well aware of. We fare better in cold than the heat and humidity of the midwest. I know how to layer and stay warm...can only take so much off to stay cool in public though.
I'm aware no place is paradise in this life, we're just looking for a place that may suite us a bit better

The fires were brutal this year. I bet half a million acres burned within 50 miles of Sheridan. This was a scorcher of a summer/fall, which was a drastic change from last summer when it was cool and wet. Last winter was great, but the winter of '22/'23 seemed to last 7 months. It felt like we were in Alaska.

In the 4 years I've lived here, I've come to realize that Wyoming is a glorious place with few people largely because of how extreme and unpredictable the weather is. It's very different from anywhere else I've lived (WA, OR, ID, IL, NH). Luckily, my wife handles WY weather better than I do, but I guarantee you it ain't for everyone.

Almost a million acres in total for WY.
The fire next to our place was the largest prairie fire in WY history.
The forest fires were the largest in WY history too.
