Today's question to Don Day

Sally from Douglas, Wyoming
Is this the snowiest winter we’ve ever had?
Don Day
On a statewide basis, I can’t say that. But for Wyoming, as a whole, it may be the snowiest since 1982 - 1983 and maybe back to the late 1970s. There will be some people who will say it hasn’t been that snowy here — like in Cheyenne or Laramie. But if you look at Casper, Lander, Rawlins, Rock Springs, and Jackson — they’ve probably had one of the snowiest seasons in 30 or 40 years.
