In the Star Valley Independent

I have previously posted about Ruby's fastpitch team winning the championship. Now the story has made the paper, so I am posting the article from the Star Valley Independent.

Near Normal

If yesterdays post with pictures of 8' snow drifts didn't impress you, how about the headline in the local paper the Star Valley Independent?

There it is....we are "inching toward normal". I know this has been a pretty decent year for snow totals in the Western US. Since we have moved to Star Valley I would judge this year to be second. The first year we moved here (2004-2005 winter) had the most snow fall so far. But this year is certainly catching up. What is so impressive to me about this year, again, is the fact that it all started so late.

One thing is for certain, if you do not like winter, Star Valley is not the place for you. However; if four distinct seasons suits you, and especially the most awesome summers, then Western Wyoming maybe right for you. Many of the people who live here are snow birds. They fly in for summer and leave by the end of fall. Many of the houses sit empty all winter long......hmm wonder why?
