On a Clear Day. . .

By -
Riverton, WY
March 26, 2012
Wind speed 55 - 60 mph with gusts to 70+ mph
If things weren't tied down or secured on Monday, they were probably in Nebraska on Tuesday.

Between the persistent winds, strong gusts, and blowing dirt on Monday, driving conditions were terrible if not downright dangerous. Visibility was significantly reduced as the following photos illustrate.

    The dirt blowing around is not something we usually have to deal with. I thought it was fog at first.

    Thanks for the visit, I too love the blue. Wow, what pictures! I'm feeling the need to cough and sneeze when looking at the first one. Stay indoors.

    I hate the wind...makes me nervous with everything moving around and dust storms can be very dangerous.

    I am not positive but I think I saw a small compact car with Riverton plates blow past me in Casper !! It was quick so I wasn't sure :)
