Well, it's super super dry here in terms of humidity, so does that even it out? The average is never above 50% humidity. So even though it's "muddy" and it "rains often", it dries out within a couple of hours. Literally. Even after a torrential downpour. It does NOT stay wet.
I, for one, miss the wet!

Huh, I guess that does help. Such a different climate than where I live!

I have grass and mud is still a big issue during rainy years. Rainy and muddy years are depressingly nasty.

I suppose that's not really an issue here because the ground is so dry, it just doesn't deeply absorb the water. And the sun and wind gets rid of the moisture very quickly.

During the summer, we have almost daily hailstorms or thunderstorms, but every day always ends up sunny regardless. We also have regular windstorms and the wind only ceases to blow for maybe three days out of the year, even in town. The sun is harsh on the eyes at 6k elevation, but everything is just... CLEAR. The sky is super super blue. The clouds, when they do come, look like elaborate paintings. Everyone is happy and friendly because of the sun. It's a great place to live! But yeah, for a few months out of the year, there is a crusty, muddy trail from the door to the dog crate and I literally don't bother to mop...

How cold is the coldest it usually gets during the day?

Yeah! I grew up in Ohio and it is so super different out here.

Really convinced now. I don’t need anything super nice. Just maybe like 3 acres and nice neighbors.

Ok I’m convinced again. Know any cheap houses for sale?

Wow I butchered that post. Fixed it

Haha! Well. Wyoming is known for being... Interesting. Two years ago, there was a record winter where for weeks on end the wind didn't stop gusting and it was in the negatives aaaall winter, people had heat never turning off.
Like many places, there are days that are in the teens, single digits, and sometimes negatives, but for the most part it's 20s-40s and above, with only a few short weeks having temps in the teens. But it's really important to note that even though it does get cold on the thermometer, it feels VERY different on the body because of how dry and sunny it is. You really don't feel it. A few weeks ago, I went out in 20s with a light coat while there was a steady wind, and wasn't actually cold. As long as the sun is out and you have something to break the wind, it's actually comfortable. It's really weird.

Unfortunately land is expensive here... It's half a mil for five acres and a double wide. But I'm in the Cheyenne area, and it does vary a ton across the state.

Let’s see… I should be financially able to move in like… 3 years
