Stormy Weather...

Like much of the rest of the country, Laramie is (once again) getting ready to experience severe weather.

In addition to the—almost daily—recurring strong winds, we're currently under a Tornado Watch until 9 pm this evening.

Entering Laramie from I-287 and points SE, i.e., CO

I’ve been told Tornados are rare in Laramie and that the rare one that passed through two-to-three years ago brought damaging winds that required roof replacement on many of the homes, including the one I’m sitting in.

TWC has been flashing photos of 8 to 10 inches of ice pellets, or in other words, hail, just NE of Denver.

Yep—A blanket of 8 to 10 inches of hail covering the ground, like snow.

That storm is heading NE, but still encompasses our locale, and as I sit here typing, I hear the battle of the Titans—thunderous and ominous—in the distance.

Then there is the wind, which has been gusting all day, and may reach hurricane gusts of up to 75 MPR—again.

I had hopes of attending a spinning class—the wool kind—at the local yarn shop this evening.

In the garage, my car is safe from the softball size hail they just experienced around Denver, and which is purportedly making it’s way here.

I’d rather my car not be pockmarked, or suffer another broken windshield.

I’m beginning to wonder—perhaps winter is the mild season in Wyoming!

Stay safe, dry and cozy—wherever you may be.
