Blue pill vs Red pill?
https://youtu.be/EHrq16I3vII
Interesting stuff!
Montana is 4th largest state with 1.2 million humans. I prefer Florida, get in a boat and have the ocean to your self. Yesterday Fort Lauderdale got 26 inches of rain, the airport is still closed.
26” of rain in a single day????!!!!!!
NWS reports 20"-25" in 24hrs, 25.9" near one of their reporting stations in far less than 24hrs.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.
Where you and I live we get 13 to 14 a YEAR. (total Precipitation)Quote:

Big mistake, looks like we didn’t go far enough north.
I'm counting down the days until we're officially out of CO and residents of WY. It's not many days. In fact, I can even count them all.
We used to get rain storms like that in Korea during the monsoon.Quote:

Imagine the most powerful shower you've ever been in. Now double that and it's the whole sky doing that, and it lasts for hours. That's the Monsoon in Asia.
Wyoming is friggin COLD though. I lived in Laramie for 5 years (admittedly, Laramie is pretty cold even by Wyoming standards) and the winters were long and miserable. It's not unusual to have winter snowstorms on Memorial Day and even close to Labor day. Then the Summers can be blistering hot.
There are a lot of good things about Wyoming, but I wouldn't want to live there again. TOO. DAMN. COLD.
You are correct, some parts of Wyoming are different than Colorado.
Where we live now, is almost exactly the same as the part of Weld County we moved from.
Laramie AND Cheyenne get more weather due to the elevation.
Then there are parts that are very much like Colorado, right down to the politics and wokeness. Talking to you Jackson Hole and Cody.Quote:

Sure sold me on Wyoming.
But I've spent enough time working there to know I don't want to move there.

And, WY is getting to be just as bad as the other mountain west states in terms of cost of living. Houses are pretty expensive now even in the less desirable parts of the state. No more moving for me, though. I love where we wound up...it's far and away my favorite place I've ever lived.
Stop talking about my state! Cheyenne and Laramie have become Colorado North!!! So much extra traffic in the last 7 years, and the housing market is STUPID compared to 5 years ago.
If you would like any info about cheyenne, ask here or PM me. There are more and more shifting to Wyoming because of what it can offer.
I'm worried that they are, Colorado North, and very liberal, etc.
What are your thoughts on that?

I'll never move back to Wyoming, itz a beautiful state, but can really only be lived in and appreciated by strong willed folk.
Colorado isn't my final destination either...
My wife's been dead-set against moving to my home state of OK, but she's actually made a few favorable noises about it lately. But all the shit we have - need several months and a 30 yard dumpster.....
Just one? Rookie....Quote:

If you're in Jackson Hole, get the burger at Million Dollar Cowboy Bar.
Having farmed over 30 years in NW Colorado, I came to realize that the high winter/spring winds happen because Wyoming either sucks or it blows.
That's what we used to say in Oklahoma about Kansas!Quote:

If it wasn't for the colder/longer winters I would move to Cody for retirement. Maybe by that time, global warming will fix that.
Coldest place I've ever been in my life was Gillette, WY. -30f w/-60f wind chill. Thank God I was only there a couple of days to install some telecom equipment - in a little unheated metal shed, with ice on the inside walls and more bullet holes than I could count. No desire to live where the air hurts my face, it's too damn cold HERE for my old ass.

Feb 1979... I spent a week in Gillette opening a new K-Mart store. I worked at the store in Casper and some of us went up there to train the new store employees. I was a senior in HS then and graduated from Kelly Walsh HS in Casper that year. Went into the AF in July. Memories...Quote:

I don't think it got above -20 the whole week.
