The WORST BLIZZARD We've Ever Had (Wyoming Bomb Cyclone)

We've had some blizzards since we started our homestead, but this one takes the cake! My hands were full keeping the fire going & and animals cared for... Meteorologists are calling it a "bomb cyclone" and it was NUTS!

    I live ten miles East of Devil's Tower...This storm was absolutely nothing in comparison to the 1984 blizzard we had....You could WALK onto your rooftop in the snow drifts that amassed in that storm...was insane....I did have some 5 foot drifts in this one, I have two nine year old German Shepherd babies, and we went out into this storm all day and played...it was a little cold at first, wind was pretty wicked, but all in all, not to bad...the snow was really weird though....kind of had a consistency of a fine flour and sand combination...made it very difficult to break trail in...but I have to admit....I am originally from Alaska, and I LOVE the snow storms...It does pain my heart to see what this storm did East and South of here though...I just read that over 1 million calves were lost just in Nebraska alone...I know a large portion of South Dakota was hit pretty hard too....

With ryan's detailed shed plans kzread.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

    I was born in Jackson almost seven decades ago. I have definitely experienced what you're going through right now. We had a blizzard in 78 and I went into labor I couldn't get to the hospital and the doctor couldn't get to me. That was the most awesome delivery I've ever had made me choose to have home birth forevermore after that. I have warm and fond memories of the 78 blizzard...living in north Texas now and I sure do miss the snow.

When I first saw that part with the cows covered in snow I sort of panic but what you said that just proved how well their protected from the cold. I've always worried about the cows & horses when there are these type of storms. But they still look so cold, poor babies...

It was like an inch or two and turned to ice pretty much overnight and that cancelled schools and closed stores and everything. I'm looking at this, and I think there is more snow on the ground than if you add all the snow I've seen in my life. I'm glad you survived and all your animals are just fine! Stay safe and warm!!

Our place east of Cheyenne had drifts over the porch and it was so bad that the cars couldn't make it through and the folks had to hike to the nearest ranch house to survive. Ranchers rose to the occasion and opened their homes and hearts to all comers. Good luck digging out, y'all!

    Wow. That's amazing! I've seen lots of snow, but never like this before. Growing up on a cattle ranch in the '60's, we would light bonfires in the pastures to keep the cattle warm. Our herd was about 150 head. I've learned/seen, once a cow goes down, they rarely get back up, due to hypothermia, pneumonia, etc. This was especially true if the temperature fell below 26 degrees. Killed the orange crops, too. We are in Florida and raised Santa Gertrudis, Brahamn and the Longhorn, (courtesy of Spain) but no snow gardens. Great photography!

We are melting now during the days, so we are about to transition from ice & snow to mud & muck. We don’t have cows, but our neighbor does & he’s been on constant patrol all winter. The calves are pretty cool to watch! Good luck with your storm recovery!

    Well done vid of what it's like to be coping with a blizzard, right down to showing the changing snow drifts on the porch, & how, when out walking, the wind can create areas where the snow may be only a few inches deep, but in the next step, may be just over your knees, which makes it hard to walk in. The little drift that blew in due to a small crack under the door , feet away showed how strong the wind was. I put old towels to fill the gap under my back storm door. The strip at the bottom was cheaply made & broke in the cold weather one year. After the inner door is closed, there's a large, thin but dense towel I arrange at the bottom of that door. It makes a huge difference. .

    Loved seeing the dogs running around in the snow together, havin' a blast, just like some kids do, in snow storms. Sure wish you'd thought to sweep the snow off the cows, though - especially the little ones. The cats were sweet & all so beautiful too! Are they siblings? Loved seeing the interiors of the barns too!

    Driving across Wyoming in an 18 wheeler back in 92 and parked in a rest area no facilities parked in the far right corner. Woke up 9 hours later do nothing out the windshield, covered in snow 26 hours later I heard a snowplow working in the rest area and called the plow on the cab and he answered me saying where are you. My entire rig was buried in snow. He was careful taking a little bit of snow at a time until the snow fell away from my truck. He then cleared the snow away from the rear of the truck and then I was able to back out, it took several tries before I was out and the snow was 7 feet high on top of the trailer. No one on the highway other than snow plows so I didn't worry about the snow coming off the roof of the truck. I before I retired has many more adventures driving all 48. Looks like you weathered the storm quite well. I'll bet the cows were happy to not have to fight the drifts just to find grass to eat. Though I think your cats were overjoyed to see you. :-) Hopefully as it melts you won't find too much damage. Just as a bit of info the storm you just went through used to be the normal snow storms north of Boston, Massachusetts back in the 50's ( yup! I'm that old ) Cheers!

Walked for miles in circles til he died from the cold. Been here since born in 57 and that is one of only many stories of the brutal Wyoming winters. Keeps the pilgrims out tho'.
