Above average temperatures in January, despite bitter forecast for the last week of the month, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Wyoming Field Office, Jan. 31.
Temperatures, for the majority of Wyoming, were above normal despite the arctic blast expected in late January and the first few days of February. Producers are becoming concerned that hay supplies may begin running short depending on the rest of the winter. Similarly, Sweetwater County reported blizzards and snow pack resulting in producers having to feed more to keep range livestock going. Lincoln County also reported a tough winter thus far, with a lot of snow and cold. Platte County reported the dust being settled by January rain and snow. The majority of calving and lambing will start there in late February. The NRCS SNOTEL site, as of Jan. 31, showed a snow water equivalent statewide average of 117 percent, ranging from 105 percent of average in the Shoshone drainage basin to 140 percent of average in the Upper Bear River drainage basin. High temperatures ranged from the high 30s to the low 60s. Low temperatures ranged from the low -30s to just below 0 degrees.
