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.

The Alamac has been a reliable source of long-range forecasts since 1818, so let’s hear what they have to say.

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.
