Even mild winters in Wyoming bring plentiful supplies of snow, and because the season tends to come early and stay long past its welcome, it’s not surprising that we get anxious for spring. Still, there’s something peacefully beautiful about the snowy season in Wyoming. The fluffy powder blankets everything from the tree-covered mountainsides to the high plains and towns, conjuring the illusion you’ve crossed over into a snow globe. Just take a look at these 8 Wyoming towns that transform into especially enchanting snow-covered scenes when winter hits.
