Spring. The sun is shining, the grass is turning green, and the birds are chirping, right?! Nope, not if you live in Wyoming. I bet I fooled you with that cover photo, huh?

Spring can bring some of the harshest weather conditions in Wyoming. One day it’ll be 60 degrees and sunny, the next day there will be 4 inches of snow on the ground. Here in Laramie, we started experiencing this weather last week. 

It’s Monday at 8 in the morning. I am leaving for class completely bundled up, winter jacket, hat, gloves, the whole ensemble.

 

At 12:15 in the afternoon, I feel completely out of place. I have to shed my winter coat in order to avoid breaking a sweat as I walk to the bus.

At 9:30 in the evening, I look outside and it’s a white out. I can’t see the building less than 100 feet from my window.

Tuesday? Repeat.

I have lived in Wyoming my whole life, but I still haven’t figured out the weather here. All I know, thanks to my mom, is that whenever you leave the house, you better prepare for anything. Mother Nature just can’t seem to make up her mind when it comes to good ol’ WyHOMEing.

Abbey is a senior at the University of Wyoming and is currently majoring in Journalism. She couldn't imagine a world without Jesus, coffee, The 1975, Twitter or her family. You'll usually find her at a concert or cafe somewhere, which is where she spends majority of her free-time. Talking to band members after their shows is a hobby, along with thrifting & indulging in all aspects of pop culture. After college, she plans to spend more time at concerts, getting paid to write about music and bands.
