The WORST BLIZZARD We've Ever Had (Wyoming Bomb Cyclone)

[@theprairiehomestead]

The truth about homesteading in Wyoming! www.theprairiehomestead.com/2015/12/homesteading-in-wyoming.html

[@dps5819]

I love heating with wood, especially on days like that, toasty warm.. ☺

[@michelleplummer7562]

The Prairie Homestead thank you for Sharing this video that is lot of snow really deep very interesting

[@tetelestaipaidinfull2903]

I live ten miles East of Devil's Tower...This storm was absolutely nothing in comparison to the 1984 blizzard we had....You could WALK onto your rooftop in the snow drifts that amassed in that storm...was insane....I did have some 5 foot drifts in this one, I have two nine year old German Shepherd babies, and we went out into this storm all day and played...it was a little cold at first, wind was pretty wicked, but all in all, not to bad...the snow was really weird though....kind of had a consistency of a fine flour and sand combination...made it very difficult to break trail in...but I have to admit....I am originally from Alaska, and I LOVE the snow storms...It does pain my heart to see what this storm did East and South of here though...I just read that over 1 million calves were lost just in Nebraska alone...I know a large portion of South Dakota was hit pretty hard too....

[@michelleplummer7562]

Tetelestai Paid in Full I am not surprise South Dakota have blizzard I Wise KZbin channel early this pass week have it bad

[@sacha8626]

Hi I’m from the UK we don’t really get weather like this maybe once ever 10 years maybe. Hope you guys are ok and all the animal are too

[@jessedaulton7212]

You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Holy Smokes! This is just a continual confirmation that you Wyoming folks are the toughest in America :)

[@markoneill8188]

Is alaskans not more tough lol

[@able880]

It's not for every one to live in WY I assure you of that - if you didn't grow up in that climate u won't last long - most can only handle 21 days on average at best then bug out - I've worked in some of the hardest areas of the country - WY was the hardest it's not for everyone, it will test your faith to the bone

[@pedrocortez18]

Not really

[@DianeSturlinXX]

I was born in Jackson almost seven decades ago. I have definitely experienced what you're going through right now. We had a blizzard in 78 and I went into labor I couldn't get to the hospital and the doctor couldn't get to me. That was the most awesome delivery I've ever had made me choose to have home birth forevermore after that. I have warm and fond memories of the 78 blizzard...living in north Texas now and I sure do miss the snow.

[@joycenagy3140]

LOL The barn cats remind me of going to my daughter's place on the Canadian/Washington border. Last visit I shoveled snow twice a day for two weeks. Storms lined up one after another.

[@THEJET52]

What a beautiful homestead.! You are truly blessed...and a very hard worker. Your animals are precious.

[@dannynicastro3207]

[@nancyogard6722]

I was just checking out youtube & saw this one. It's good to know that those cows were ok, I'm an animal love. When I first saw that part with the cows covered in snow I sort of panic but what you said that just proved how well their protected from the cold. I've always worried about the cows & horses when there are these type of storms. But they still look so cold, poor babies...

[@marynichols438]

Absolutely amazing. Hats off to you for being so upbeat about things. I appreciate that you made this video to share with us, despite your workload.

[@vedaperez6748]

WOW! This Lady is so awesome in caring for her animals on her land. And her dog is awesome too. Such a champ with that kind of weather keeping up with its owner. God bless these farmers and their family.

[@yvonnehouston1282]

WOW! That's some powerful storm! Hope all the heifers and their babies made it through the blizzard ok!! Y'all stay safe! Never experienced anything like this in North Carolina! Thanks for sharing!

[@stefflus08]

When heifers have calves they become cows.

[@alyalvarado1667]

This is so surreal to me, as someone who lives in North Carolina. We had some snow in like January? It was like an inch or two and turned to ice pretty much overnight and that cancelled schools and closed stores and everything. I'm looking at this, and I think there is more snow on the ground than if you add all the snow I've seen in my life. I'm glad you survived and all your animals are just fine! Stay safe and warm!!

[@buddydenton6965]

OMG YOU'RE SO PRETTY . JUST HAD TO REPLY WHEN I SEE PRETTY GAL.

[@lemoncrinckles]

This reminds me of the blizzards described by Laura Ingalls Wilder in "The Long Winter." Brutal! Stay safe.

[@peggygibbons479]

I've always wanted to be in an actual blizzard, because of those books.

[@tombixler3512]

Yeah, I remember reading the "Little House on the Prairie" books. Very sweet times. So wonderful to know about history and how people lived approximately 100 years ago. Here in my home town there is a historic cemetery. I drive by it all the time and wonder, ""Lord, tell me please about the people buried there." -Tom

[@klazyy641]

You should have been there back in '49. Now there was a blizzard and a half! Our place east of Cheyenne had drifts over the porch and it was so bad that the cars couldn't make it through and the folks had to hike to the nearest ranch house to survive. Ranchers rose to the occasion and opened their homes and hearts to all comers. Good luck digging out, y'all!

[@theprairiehomestead]

I've heard stories about that one!!

[@ojjenkins7110]

Look up the blizzard of 1949 WY PBS put it out some time ago and it's on YT. Much bigger and longer. This one is a pup compared to that one! This one didn't stop trains that one did.

[@ls-kk4pq]

Looking that one up - sounds horrible!

[@ls-kk4pq]

I just looked it up - looks like a double bomb cyclone. It was the mother load of blizzards!

[@rachelynn3079]

[@SherryEllesson]

Thanks for sharing how dramatic (potentially traumatic) this was for your homestead - takes a lot to live on the edge and even more to share it effectively. Much appreciation!

[@janellemargot4376]

🧡

[@robradencic4483]

Wow. That's amazing! I've seen lots of snow, but never like this before. Growing up on a cattle ranch in the '60's, we would light bonfires in the pastures to keep the cattle warm. Our herd was about 150 head. I've learned/seen, once a cow goes down, they rarely get back up, due to hypothermia, pneumonia, etc. This was especially true if the temperature fell below 26 degrees. Killed the orange crops, too. We are in Florida and raised Santa Gertrudis, Brahamn and the Longhorn, (courtesy of Spain) but no snow gardens. Great photography!

[@rmartinie]

You all are absolutely amazing!! 😳 Y’all are the “real deal”!!! 💪🏻 Kudos to you BIG TIME for your determination and fortitude!!! I just love your channel 💚💛🤎

[@sunnygirl87]

The last winter we lived in Indiana, -50°windchill, blizzard, neighbor's cows walked over their fencing. We moved South with our horses!

[@xclaudia97]

Yep! I've grown up with the stories of the '78 blizzard from my parents and grandparents when 50 inches fell in 2 days. In 2007 we had one that was as deep as the top of our house. I remember the neighbors dogs just strolling right over the top of their 6 ft privacy fence.

[@apextroll]

When the dog looks out for the first time is always priceless😃😃😃

[@dianavance1137]

Dogs, the animals, are precious. They are such company.

[@gymnastmomma6908]

From one Wyoming girl to another... I feel your pain!! It was a horrendous winter!

[@alexanderthesalz396]

It was a few weeks ago for our blizzard, here in Western Montana, but it was similar. 27” in 24 hours, more than any storm in the last 20 years. And it has lasted for weeks! We are melting now during the days, so we are about to transition from ice & snow to mud & muck. We don’t have cows, but our neighbor does & he’s been on constant patrol all winter. The calves are pretty cool to watch! Good luck with your storm recovery!

[@dianecharles881]

Oh my ! I have never seen anything like it! So glad you are all safe and all the animals make it through the storm!

[@cherylanderson3340]

Well done vid of what it's like to be coping with a blizzard, right down to showing the changing snow drifts on the porch, & how, when out walking, the wind can create areas where the snow may be only a few inches deep, but in the next step, may be just over your knees, which makes it hard to walk in. The little drift that blew in due to a small crack under the door , feet away showed how strong the wind was. I put old towels to fill the gap under my back storm door. The strip at the bottom was cheaply made & broke in the cold weather one year. After the inner door is closed, there's a large, thin but dense towel I arrange at the bottom of that door. It makes a huge difference. .

[@ThisOhioFarmhouse]

Oh my goodness! That’s some serious snow. I bet you are ready for spring!!

[@lisawaters2585]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I usually don't like anything "wintery", but I have to admit, this was a good one. I'm originally from Michigan, so I've seen enuf winter to last me the rest of my life. I'm too old to homestead now, but it was something I wanted to do when I was younger, so I really enjoy your vids. Don't worry, you'll always make it! You've got it knocked, youngster! You all have the "right stuff"!

[@theprairiehomestead]

Thanks Lisa!

God bless you Sister! I'm about 175 miles south of you and got hammered big time!! 90+ mph winds.

WOW! That's quite the storm. I remember a storm like that when I lived in Oregon. I'm glad you and the animals made it through ok. I love how your dog knew right where you were going, looking back and you to make sure you're coming and how much fun they had playing in the snow.

[@thinkingofothers353]

~~~ Your family and Homestead are on my daily prayer list...I have been able to come to Wyoming and yes it was for myself an interesting joy. Snow is one of the joys in my life and I loved your video for today . Please be safe and keep safe ......most of all to you GOD''S JOY......

Loved seeing the dogs running around in the snow together, havin' a blast, just like some kids do, in snow storms. Sure wish you'd thought to sweep the snow off the cows, though - especially the little ones. The cats were sweet & all so beautiful too! Are they siblings? Loved seeing the interiors of the barns too!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

We had 4 feet of snow in February alone. We haven't seen that much snow in over 20 years. When I was a child snow banks were so tall you couldn't throw the snow. Times they are a changing.

[@fasx56]

Loved your hour by hour narration of this severe storm to let all who watch understand what you went through and the danger a storm like this is for someone who is caught out on the road and stranded. Wyoming has a reputation for wind and snow and the Hardy People who are willing to live there.

[@CountryViewHomestead]

Here in New England, we get snow like that pretty much every winter. This year, however, has been mild (knock on wood) Glad everyone is ok! 😊

[@theprairiehomestead]

That quantity of snow isn't uncommon here, but the way it came in was pretty unusual-- one report I saw said that this storm had level 1 hurricane force winds, so when you combine that with snow, it's pretty intense.

[@jeffdunnell508]

I remember 1978

I'm right outside of Cleveland on the shores of Lake Erie. I can definitely relate when you talk about the lake effect. It can be absolutely brutal. Between the windchills, snow by the foot and wicked winds, it can make winters here down right deadly.

They have CHOSEN to live in these areas; presumably because the cost of living is low, due the undesirable, hideous climate. As they say: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Coastal central and southern California, is extremely expensive, because it has by far the best climates in the contiguous United States (from the Bay Area to SoCal). The combination of low humidity, dry sunny summers and wet, mild and in the case of SoCal warm winters and vast topographical diversity of the state (the highest mountains in the US) makes it unbeatable climate wise. I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THESE PEOPLE; I LAUGH AT THEM AND THEIR STUPIDITY!!!!

I've lived in Maine all my life It's a matter of keeping track of the weather so there's no surprises and learning how to cope with it.A lot of city people have moved here in the last few years.It amazes me how unprepared they are when we get hit like you just did.Even when you advise them on what they need to do they won't listen.They're helpless when the power goes out! Anyway,stay warm and stay safe.

Hi Jill , we have had the same type of storms here in VT. Sometimes for three days! Then we shovel ourselves out and find the wood pill to get ready for the next. We haven't had those kind of storms of late. Glad your safe and warm. Jo Jo in VT

Soooooo envious. We haven’t had blizzards like that here, South Wales, UK, since 2012......it’s seems to go in 8-10 year cycles. We had terrible blizzards in 1982 where the snow drifts buried one side of our house, which was a three floor tall house. All the best Dean Wales, UK

Your cats are so cute! I have eight myself and I also foster, at times I’ve had 12 running around here😊 We have 4 feet of snow all over plus humongous drifts.. so tired of the snow now. I want to start my garden!

Good for you. I did the same thing until it got out of hand. I just rescued a feral female late January or early February. I just remember it was a Tuesday and I was out of town. The high that day was 18 below zero with 30 below predicted for the night. She's full grown and has been in the house since. Is stunted but cute as the dickens. Orange female with white on neck and chest. Into everything. I don't want to keep her but am reluctant to bring her to shelter as she will be adopted as feral and be a barn cat, neutered first, of course. I want her to have a break. I'm not allowed to look at her or touch her. She's in heat constantly as you must know. I have to take her to vet for checkup and spay. Maybe then she'll warm up to me. Maybe never. My animals like her and she loves my 12 year old siamese tom. All of my animals are neutered.
