[QUOTE="CowboyRam, post: 1846568, member: 42312"] It can get very cold during the winter. The record coldest was recorded in Yellowstone in 1933 at -66F. Dad talks about riding the Red Desert in January and it never got much above -40F. He broke ice cycles off his horse that were 12" long. Not one cowboy quit because of the cold, oh they complained about it. My uncle at the ranch west of Rawlins has a greenhouse that he raises corn because sometimes in the summer they can get a killing frost. The ranch is about 7000 ft above sea level. The coldest winter I can remember was 22-23, we had several days here on the farm that went below -40. That winter was very hard on calves; I lost several just because of the extended bad weather. I still had 6" of snow on my alfalfa field in the middle of April. Usually it is all gone by March. [/QUOTE]
