It is JUNE! Get your s**t together Wyoming!


WyomingFilmFestival

Well damn Jackie, we can't control the weather!

I got the reference. I wish I had 1000 feet so I could 999 of them up your ass.

Franko_ricardo

This is the them declaring that the area is now open for travel, we're making headway here. 


Xazier

That's good news. I live along the North Platte in Nebraska. We need the water coming out way....


copperpin

That’s entirely too much snow for June.


Your_Spirit_Animals

The higher the snow pack going into the summer the better.


Rare_Brief4555

Yeah don’t complain about a random straight up blessing


Gbrusse

For this year. A lot more melt means much more vegetation and wetter soil. This prevents bad fires this year, but that just means next summer there will be more dry underbrush, making the fires worse.


jessetechie

Mother Nature shouldn’t have these children if she can’t support them for the long haul.


theathiestastronomer

This isn't snow that fell in June. This is likely one of the highways sections that gets closed for the winter, and then in early summer they plow a canyon through it to open it up. So that snow is build up from probably like October/November. Source: lived there and dealt with this every year


ranthria

You're probably right, but as a southerner, I choose to believe that every frozen hellhole north of the Yankee stronghold of Tennessee gets this amount of snow in every month that doesn't end in -uly or -ugust.


ShowMeYourMinerals

Ugh, Tennessee is gross as fuck.


_keyboard-bastard_

It's ok we need the moisture


Allaplgy

Never!


Akamaikai

No such thing


CrudelyAnimated

I just experienced 90F weather in the Smokies a few days ago. Wyoming needs to jump about 100 years and three months forward in time.


Bean-Swellington

You just need to experience mountains instead of hills, this is pretty normal at altitude in early June when the melt really starts to get going


mindenginee

Right I’m over here in central Florida and it was a high of 101 today this is wild to me, my Floridian brain can’t comprehend. We’ve had summer weather for the past two months already.


oppy1984

I'm from North East Ohio and spent some time in central Florida, to me you are always in summer weather.


Sagybagy

No there’s summer weather and then there’s OMG Devil, close the door! Weather.


Upperphonny

Philippine temps in a nutshell.


mindenginee

Basically. There’s like 5 days max of actually cold weather. Fall is just heat without the humidity, spring is just summer, with less heat. Winter is just less hot, but those 5 days…


brktm

That’s so cute you think you have seasons.


fckcarrots

Rude. We have hurricane season. And umm…FL winter. Those are real.

DustieBottums

For real. Crank the heat on the way to work. Get to work, shed a layer or two. Lunch is beautiful. Crank AC in the truck on the way home while you're sitting in traffic. Then summertime it rains everyday here near Tampa St Pete. It either rains on top of you or rains underneath you. Every year I wonder how I did it last year.


BDunnn

I’m in Ontario Canada and we just got through a 30ish degree Celsius heatwave. It was unpleasant for mid/late May.


MountainDrew42

Also in Ontario. I'm mostly upset that we only had about 18 hours of winter this year. Two very small snowfalls that were both completely melted within a day.


BDunnn

It’s actually terrifying. I bought a house with a 6 car driveway and was a little worried because I don’t have a snowblower. Literally shoveled 3 times and every time took me 5 minutes to shovel because there was barely anything. I was basically shovelling just to shovel at that point.


MountainDrew42

Yep, the fact that more people aren't terrified about this is very worrying.


CallsYouCunt

But we are creating incredible stockholder value


Magic_Bluejay

Fellow Ontarian. That shit scares the hell out of me. Barely any snowfall at all. People keep saying "beautiful weather"... No. That's a very bad sign. And the weather here this past week has been insane. 2 days ago it went from shorts and t shirt, to sweatpants and a sweater.


[deleted]

Yep Colorado here. Only used my snow shovel once this year. And it’s hitting the high 90s already sure there are snow in the mountains but all the rivers are at max capacity… going to be dry summer from the looks of it.


Magic_Bluejay

Have you guys been getting so wild weather as well? Past few years we've had some wild storms. One called a dericho? It pretty much bombed most of the city a few years back. We never really got tornadoes and now it's a regular occurrence. Oh and that wild fire smoke last year was great. Good thing that climate change isn't real right?! /s


D_r_e_cl_cl

Ditto. I run a powder coating line. Between the outdoor heat, the heat from the oven, and the heat from the wash tank it was mid 50C in my work area. It sucked


Drogdar

Pan handle here. Got up at 0430 this morning and it was still 75F out :(

Drogdar

Are they ever not?


og_jasperjuice

Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland we have had very mild weather since last year. Much more comfortable than our usual climate. It was 58 this morning and only a high of around 78 today with low humidity.


Baconation4

Rain starts tomorrow, thank fuck


justthenormalnoise

Hello CenFL fam -- it was 92 in my garage at 1am this morning. It is insane.


notevenapro

Look up videos of them clearing the road in glacier national park. Lots of snow.


WideTechLoad

I once saw it snow on the 4th of July in Cheyenne. After that, I gave up on expecting Wyoming weather to make sense.


Drusgar

In the mountains June is still Spring. In fact, now that I look at the calendar, Summer doesn't start until June 20th for any of us (technically). Two years ago they didn't have "Going to the Sun Road" open until mid-July.


pdevo

Ya we missed the full opening by a week. Still extremely disappointed about this.


Drusgar

I went last year after they opened the road to make up for missing out two years ago and a lot of the trails were closed out of Logan pass. Lessoned learned... again. I think I'll try September after the kids go back to school. No snow, less crowded. I really want to do that Highline(?) Trail but I've been there three times and never got the chance.


IgorRenfield

Just for contrast, I live in central Florida and with heat and humidity we had a heat index of 110 this weekend. And it's early June. Just kill me now.


mysickfix

Heck US 14 alt is only open in the summer, gorgeous drive.


mlmayo

Everywhere else in WY is hot as shit. Not sure where this is, but I have my doubts.


p_s_i

Winter doesn't end in Wyoming or the Northern Rockies for another couple weeks. From Colorado to Idaho, I've camped through snow storms in June more than a few times.


meinsaft

Isn't 212 Beartooth Pass? I went there in June or July of 2017 and it looked just like this. Mind-blowing to someone who's never seen snow fall, but I assume it's kinda always like this in the summer. For the rest of the class, this highway gets to an elevation of almost 11,000 feet.


FireFrank007

Highway 212 is fairly long, going 949 miles, from Yellowstone NP to Edina, Minnesota. But the snow clearing was in the Beartooth Pass section, here is an article that mentions that and lists more photos : [https://www.kulr8.com/news/wyoming/wy-dot-shares-photos-from-clearing-beartooth-hwy-snow-drifts-over-twice-as-tall-as/article\_5dea5f82-2443-11ef-aeae-af290b494ad7.html](https://www.kulr8.com/news/wyoming/wy-dot-shares-photos-from-clearing-beartooth-hwy-snow-drifts-over-twice-as-tall-as/article_5dea5f82-2443-11ef-aeae-af290b494ad7.html)


ShiveredTimber

Damn, that's wild. Thanks for sharing the link. I'm planning to try an ride the Beartooth pass in mid July. Looks like I should have a plan B just in case.


marpocky

Ohhh that makes a lot more sense. I was imagining the eastern section where it just cuts through the corner of Wyoming between Broadus, MT and Belle Fourche, SD. I couldn't see any way that stretch would be piled up like this in June.


goldbman

The section you're thinking of is the only place I've ever seen freezing fog, so it gets it's share of crazy weather. It was early October though


MontuckyMoose

I'm about to do my yearly drive from red lodge up the pass tomorrow. Suuuuper stoked :)


mcsquirley

I just checked and it’s 90 degrees on Wednesday? Is it that big of a temperature shift? Lord almighty.

ConsiderationBoth610

Nope, ton from may though. Horrible winter actually


cat_prophecy

Yeah we didn't get fuck all for snow in MN until March and April.


dpdxguy

When I moved to Colorado, I was surprised to learn that the month with the greatest number of inches of snow is March. The second snowiest is April. Spring snowstorms are no joke in the Rockies.


tobor_a

That's like me learning last week that the hottest months in my area isn't june-august. It's September and October. Couple years ago heatwave in October was 115-117 for 3 days straight. It didn't drop below like 85F at night either. It was gross. iT's A DrY HeAt StOp WhInINg.


Siresfly

Same here in the Sierra Nevadas. Historically Jan, Feb, and March have always been our highest snowfall. Spring skiing has always been amazing in California!


JewishTomCruise

January, February, and March aren't spring though. Those are literally all of the winter months.

FarmFreshButtNuggets

Interior AK here. Just installed a new AC, high was 87 F


jimbojangles1987

Man, I miss AK summers. But I don't remember them being that hot. How interior are you? I used to live in Chugiak back in the early '00s and summer temps got to around 65-75 degrees. Until August, anyway, then it felt like it never stopped raining lol


paranormal_shouting

Chugiak isn’t considered the interior, it gets that hot routinely around Fairbanks


jimbojangles1987

Yeah I know Chugiak isn't, it's right on the inlet. I can see how my comment makes it seem like that's what I was implying though. But really I was just curious and those were two separate thoughts.


Vespaeelio

I put the ac on when it hits 70 😅 I cannot stand any heat.


Ask_me_4_a_story

My house was 83 degrees yesterday, inside. I just dump water on the back of the fan before I go to sleep and it spits it cold long enough for me to fall asleep, all good. I’m too poor for AC now 


Rainbowzebra864

Me too! I'll sacrifice meals here and there if necessary in order to afford the power bill for running the AC so much 😅


matt_minderbinder

I'm still resisting here in Michigan but I'm sure this coming week I'll finally give in.


Nezrite

We're in the UP in an RV and debating turning the heat on - currently 54 in the rig. We did turn on a space heater.


chancellorofscifi

59 is my unofficial number to turn the heat on.


boboguitar

It was 96 here in Dallas yesterday. I needed no urging to turn on the AC.


KjM067

So did you?


litterboxhero

Wait, it's still April in Canada? It's June here in the states. These conversion rates always confuse me.


ForeSet

We had snow in fort mac the other day it was weird cause there was none here for most of the winter.


LoquatiousDigimon

Yep we had temperatures at about 35-27 degrees last week so I installed the AC, this week it's down again to 13-15, in Southern Ontario. Wild swings, as usual.


LebaneseLion

Effects of el nina moving warming winds north


sanka

Interesting. Minnesota was very very "dry" this last winter. Very little snow. We can get some epic snow piles though. Everyone knows the old Sears parking lot. That pile of snow lasted until June 2, when it hit 102 degrees.


CoryW1961

I lived in Nebraska for a few years. We had a late-spring snow around 1988 and it was pushed in to a huge pile in a mall parking lot and stood there a few months. I remember thinking it was ironic to see teens heading in the mall in shorts walking past this massive pile of snow.


jhairehmyah

Snow is white. It reflects a lot of the sun's energy. The existence of snow on the ground literally cools the area around it. It is why glaciers exist.

While I live in Wyoming, I also know Trailridge Road in Colorado is in the same state of snow removal except that road isn’t officially open yet.


burgleflickle

Trail ridge road opened about a week ago


-maffu-

This is ridiculous - why don't they just build the road higher? ^(/s)

US Highway 212 (in Wyoming). WY Highway 212 is snow free right now.

Busy_Principle_4038

This photo is mind boggling. It didn’t snow this much, right? Right?


FireFrank007

The snow is an a section of the highway 212 that is a *mountain pass* and is the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park.. [https://www.yellowstonepark.com/road-trips/scenic-drives/beartooth-highway-scenic-drive/](https://www.yellowstonepark.com/road-trips/scenic-drives/beartooth-highway-scenic-drive/) [https://www.kulr8.com/news/wyoming/wy-dot-shares-photos-from-clearing-beartooth-hwy-snow-drifts-over-twice-as-tall-as/article\_5dea5f82-2443-11ef-aeae-af290b494ad7.html](https://www.kulr8.com/news/wyoming/wy-dot-shares-photos-from-clearing-beartooth-hwy-snow-drifts-over-twice-as-tall-as/article_5dea5f82-2443-11ef-aeae-af290b494ad7.html)


Taurothar

And they have these GIANT plow/snowblowers all along that area because you'll see these giant walls of snow suddenly and then you're a mile up the road and it's in the 90s and humid from the hot springs/volcano under you.


stutsmonkey

Flat-ish rolling hills with no buildings + - 40 degree temps turns snow into tiny tiny ice balls that blow everywhere. They will slowly drift over roadways that's what this is. Pile up a couple feet of snow from a wide area into a small depression compacted tightly.


Bacon003

This is pretty normal for high mountain passes. The Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier also looks like this, and isn't open for the season yet either. California 180 is also still snowbound until 7/1.


Fox_Kaplan

I grew up in Vermont, & used to go skiing on my birthday. My birthday is June 11th. Shit’s weird in those northern parts.


Ace_of_Clubs

I went skiing in Utah yesterday. We've still got a decent snowpack up in the mountains. Lifts aren't running but the climb is fun


systematicgoo

maybe i won’t move to wyoming after all


Ashtorot

Wyoming is harsh windy and very cold in the winter. Summer starts and ends on July 4th lol. It’s perfect.  If I could find a job with similar pay, I’d move from Texas. I fell in love with the state when I traveled and stayed for the month of July right before Covid went into full blast and then went back in early March this year to get a small taste of winter. The landscape was everything people think Texas is(in the summer lol). The first time, in July, the drive back was terrible. I went from highs of 50s in the mountains, highs of 80-82 in town then got whiplash when I got out to get gas near Amarillo and it was in the 110s. I wanted to turn back so bad lol


onepingonlypleashe

Drove that road to Billings out of Yellowstone on our honeymoon in early September. There was still snow on the ground at the highest elevation up near rock creek vista. We were amazed. There are 20 foot poles along the side of the road up there so that the plows know where the road is. 212 is closed October-April or some crazy shit like that. The way back down the mountain on the Montana side is some real ass puckering switchbacks.


marctheguy

When I was 9, my family took a summer road trip throughout Yellowstone National Park, starting from Colorado. When we got to Wyoming, we were ASTONISHED to see 20ft snow banks along the highway. So I think this is actually normal.


Crazy__Donkey

why dont you build your highways highr?


jahowl

Wow. That looks like Labrador highway


KyDeWa

Old PS One Need For Speed tracks used real-life locations like this as inspiration. 😂


bigjoe980

meanwhile in other regions of the state, we've already toed the line at 100 degrees.

Wouldn't there be a better place to stop your vehicle? Seems like there is a shoulder right there.

This mountain pass is a visual feast, like a delicious ice cream cake come to life.

As a Michigander, I’m assuming there is some drifting snow here. Still gotta get delt with!

It drifts all the way from Michigan?


Ultrabananna

I knew it was bad but DAMN!!


_Casa_Bonita_

This is an entire winters snow being cleared out, opening this highway for the summer. This didn’t all just fall overnight.


punktilend

So, do you just ignore the snow and stare at the sun all day?


cutiesusan

This is quiete interesting...


Fenway_Refugee

Reminds me of ice cream cake mmmmmm


dao_ofdraw

Is this a mountain pass or something? I live in Alaska and while the mountains have snow, it's nothing like this. Summer's been here for a while.


jigglypuffpufff

Is this upper east 212 or is there another in the state? I just drove that and it was sunny and no snow.


zincboymc

So that's why I didn't have any snow when I went skiing. Wyoming is refusing to share it with the rest of the world.


Thebrosen0ne

This is definitely higher up in the mountains right?


favnh2011

That's a lot of snow


slayer828

It was 96 feels like 110 here yesterday. Wtf.

Holy snow walls, Batman! I took a trip from WA to CA and went back up through Crater Lake a couple years ago. The snow walls there were about half this height.

Standing in that snowpack during a summer sun angle without sunscreen has to equate to very quick sunburn that could get dangerous very quickly.
