Wyoming Breezes

Today may be the first day of Summer, but some of the denizens of Laramie (like this tree at a local business) aren’t quite sure. It’s been downright chilly here the last two days (highs reaching the low 60s and low 40s in the morning). Strong southeast winds seem to be blowing off of an iceberg. I’m back to wearing wool socks, long sleeves, and a jacket.  Supposedly, temperatures will be in the mid-70s today and 80s over the weekend, but I’m not going to bet on it. Like the tree, I’m going to hedge my bets and be prepared for anything! 

unloading storm debris at one of four sites in Laramie June 2020 Last week's storm dropped up to 8 inches of wet, heavy snow on Laramie. The trees were fully leafed out, and the weight of the snow broke branches and damaged trees throughout town. The city designated four areas for residents to drop off branches and green debris created by the storm.  Clean up started on Tuesday and continued through the week. Pickups and trailers loaded with branches made trip after trip to the drop-off sites.  storm debris mound at one of four locations Laramie, WY June 2020 The photo shows only a small portion of the mountain of branches at one of the drop-off areas. The debris pile was easily over 100 yards long and 30 yards wide.
