I don’t know if you will be surprised by this or not but one of the worst winter weather cities is right here in Wyoming, according to Farmers’ Almanac. This is a “glass is half full or half empty” scenario. What might be the worst winter weather for some may be the best winter weather for others. So it depends on how you look at it.
