Caspers forecast and security tips

Depending on how you look at it, Casper either delighted or missed the winter weather at the beginning of 2025. Sure, we had snowfall here and there, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

That could change in the next few days because there is a warning in the winter storm for Wednesday evening to Friday.

Snow. The question of how much snow will fall seem to be the part that nobody can put your finger on.

Forecasts show that between one centimeter and a foot around the Casper area could fall, which means that they cannot be safe until the snow falls. The worst thing is the basic case scenario.

The lack of snow this year could give you a wrong feeling of willingness, and the day you should assess whether you are prepared. We had a few weeks with the “wrong spring”, so you may have to trace back and think your attitude back into winter.

Get a plan together and avoid headaches.

Check your emergency preparation kits to ensure that you have filled up the items you use.

Check the safety heating sources to ensure that you are ready immediately.

Do your pets and cattle have everything you need to survive an explosion from the old winter, including protection, water, food and warmth?

Look into your vehicle and make sure that the entire winter equipment is out of the garage and back there.

I know that you believe that you have gone through many Wyoming winter storms, but bad things can happen if you are excessively confident. If you prepare for a few minutes, you can save thousands of dollars and possibly an injury.

The 10 bids for winter drive in Casper

The city of Casper has its unique challenges in winter. We have no streets, the wind changes the winter landscape every hour, and the plows leave snow area in the middle of the street. We are also blessed with some great people who are willing to give a helping hand if necessary. These are the unspoken rules of the street here in Wyoming.
