It’s Snow Joke, Those Aren’t Clouds Covering Wyoming!

WOW look at that satellite photo.

Wyoming is all covered in clouds.

RIGHT?

No.

On this day, Sunday 01/26/25, there was almost not a cloud in the sky.

That's all snow on the ground for the entire state of Wyoming and most of the surrounding region.

Take a moment to scan that photo, here it is again, and you'll be able to pick out every Wyoming mountain range.

All of this snow is going to keep us cooler for a while.

Temperatures do rise in our region, but all that snow reflects most of the sunlight back into space and most of that heat along with it.

Wyoming had a late start to winter this year. But that's to be expected since one year is never like the next when it comes to weather.

A high-pressure system was parked over Wyoming at the beginning of the winter season.

It finally moved on and opened that door to Canadian cold and snow.

At the time this photo was taken, the only clouds in the area were a few whisps in southern Wyoming.

Our current forecast shows a little break from that below-freezing cold that's been keeping us bundled up for the past couple of weeks.

Let's enjoy it while we can because when this week ends, forecasters predict, something bigger might be coming that will cover our region in snow, border to border once again.

There is good news for Wyoming's mountain snowpack, which came late this year but is now at an all-time high.
