Farmers Alamanac Winter 2020 In Wyoming Will Be Cold And Snowy

Wyoming is a state that’s pretty familiar with winter and it comes as no surprise that winter 2020 in Wyoming is going to be cold and snowy. It might catch your attention, though, when you hear that the Farmers’ Almanac is calling for a winter that’s colder and snowier than usual. I wasn’t even sure that was possible! The Alamac has been a reliable source of long-range forecasts since 1818, so let’s hear what they have to say.

Most of Wyoming is used to snow, but the high desert towns might be caught off guard this year!

The Rockies and high plains are looking at a bitterly cold and wet winter and Wyoming won’t be spared. In fact, snow can start as early as October even at lower elevations.

Of course, the mountains and northwestern part of the state are likely to see snow piling up soon.

Driving in the snow is never fun. Be ready with your snow tires or chains early so you aren’t caught off guard on a slippery mountain pass.
