So far the winter has been pretty mild. Not much snow at all and only a handful of cold days. Not much feed left for them though. We're going to need a lot of spring rain or the herds may be in trouble.

I agree. The winter has been super mild. Our river isn't even all the way frozen which is weird for this time of year. It's putting a damper on my across the river shed hunting. We are going to need some sort of moisture..
hope all is well in Wyo. We just got another 8" here in WI. Last year in March we hit 80 deg...........we MIGHT sniff 40 deg later this week and into next, and we have alot of snow on the ground.
I hope you guys out in Eastern/NE Wyo have had a good winter with some decent precip. and a wet spring! After last years drought some good rain would help you guys out alot.

This last little storm just barely dusted Laramie. I think most of snow was in colorado. I think this will be another ugly year for the animals. Hope I am wrong.

Depends on where you are. Most of Wyoming is below normal snowpack, anywhere from 70-90%, with very few drainages at or above 90%. Here in SE Wyoming not one storm has brought as much snow as predicted. This last one was forecasted to bring 3-7" or so and we got maybe an inch. Pretty weak winter. I hope we get some good rains . . .

Laramie got some GOOD snow today (Monday) but don't know about mountains. 8 inches in town. Wet snow. supposed to be 45 on Wednesday.

Definitely some much needed moisture . . . I think I'm going to look into being a meteorologist. I think they've been wrong most of the time and still keep a job!
Lets hope we keep getting some moisture here and there, but that the temps stay up . . .

Do you mean how we were supposed to have the storm of the century Saturday, got 1/2 inch.Then the weather yesterday said slight chance of snow with little to no accumulation and 8" drop.

In NE Wyo, they are already having meetings about enforcing a complete fire ban. The hills have gotten some snow last month but they are so far behind in moisture it didnt help too much. Lots of ranchers selling out because they wont have any hay to harvest because its so dry.

Thanks guy's. Our area in NE Oregon is at about 87% of normal (snow pack water content) but it sounds like you guy's are not near that. Hope you get some major spring rains! The weather tonight say's there is some pretty good moisture coming in for the next few days and I hope it makes it over to you...

They had the season settings meetings last week. Most of the antelope tags were cut big time, 50-60 percent in some of the units.
