We visited Wyoming on one vacation and nearly got blown out of the state by the high winds—in October.

The wind chills during the winter have to be ridiculous.

That’s another aspect of Wyoming I’ve heard a lot about. I don’t mind too much wind, but yeah, I’ve heard you gotta watch out for that, especially in the winter when it’s snowing too.

The construction frost depth is 45 inches because the high winds blow the snow off at -15.

I set up a steel erection crew in mobile homes on a jobsite 45 years ago and we had to run blow torches on oil pans to start equipment.
