Cheyenne snow, cold: Winter Weather Advisory issued
(Dan Cepeda, Oil City News)
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Southeastern Wyoming, including Cheyenne and the surrounding areas, is bracing for continued dangerously cold temperatures and the possibility of moderate to heavy snowfall today and tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for areas along the Interstate 80 corridor, including Cheyenne, from noon today to 5 a.m. Wednesday. Snow is expected to develop mainly after 11 a.m., with the potential for heavy snowfall rates this afternoon and evening. Accumulation of 1–3 inches is possible during the day, with an additional 1–3 inches tonight. Wind chill values are expected to range between minus 10 and zero during the day and minus 10 to minus 15 tonight.
“The main uncertainty is exactly where these narrow bands (of the most intense snowfall) will set up,” the NWS stated in its area forecast discussion. “These narrow bands may contain 1-2+” per hour snowfall rates, low visibility under one-quarter mile, and even the potential for thundersnow.”
The NWS notes that areas along the I-80 corridor from Elk Mountain to Pine Bluffs have the highest potential for heavy snow.
Travel may become tricky as the Wyoming Department of Transportation is already reporting slick roads in the area.
In addition to the snowfall, the region remains under an Extreme Cold Warning until 11 a.m. Thursday. While temperatures are expected to remain cold, wind chills should ease slightly tonight due to lighter winds.
The extended forecast calls for a gradual warming trend beginning Thursday, with temperatures potentially reaching near 60 degrees by Sunday. However, increased westerly winds are expected this weekend, with the possibility of strong winds in wind-prone areas of southeast Wyoming.
Detailed Forecast
- Today: Snow, mainly after 11 a.m. High near 16. Wind chill values between minus 10 and zero. South wind around 10 mph becoming east northeast in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1–3 inches possible.
- Tonight: Snow, mainly before 11 p.m. Low around minus 4. Wind chill values between minus 10 and minus 15. Northeast wind 5–10 mph becoming south southeast after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1–3 inches possible.

A YouTuber decided to do a crazy DIY project and turbocharge an abandoned RV that he dragged out of a barn in Wyoming.
He pulled a dusty 1977 Winnebago Chieftain out of a barn after it had been sitting for up to 20 years, then somehow drove it 400 miles back to Colorado.
Instead of restoring it in the typical way, he decided to stick a turbocharger onto the massive old motorhome, because of course he did.
What he ended up with was a true beast that goes faster than any RV would ever need to go, at least he won’t be late for camping.

Man turbocharges abandoned RV he found in a barn
There’s nothing better than a DIY project, but possibly the only thing that’s better is sticking a turbocharger onto a vehicle that certainly doesn’t need it, like this 1977 Winnebago Chieftain RV.
The project came from Dustin from the Life of Lind channel, who admitted to his subscribers that he had never built a turbo setup like this before.
The Winnebago’s interior was in surprisingly good shape, but under the hood, things were far less friendly, with melted wiring, aging connectors, and plenty of problems that had to be fixed before adding power.
Rather than cramming a turbo into the engine bay, Dustin rerouted the exhaust forward and mounted the turbo up near the wheel well.
The entire setup was fabricated at home using basic tools and a welder he got for cheap, with lots of cutting, test fitting, and trial and error along the way.
The fastest motorhome ever
Once the turbo and the fresh new intercooler were in place, he carefully brought the RV back to life, but with a little bit of space.
After sorting out oil leaks and wiring issues, the big RV finally hit the road, with so much extra power boosted by the turbocharger.
It is still a gigantic motorhome, but now it accelerates far quicker than it ever did before it was upgraded, but the turbo is clearly audible every time Dustin steps on the throttle.
The next plans include boosting it even more, cleaning it up and dropping serious weight by removing old tanks and a massive generator.
The end goal is a turbocharged abandoned RV built for people who will never be late to the camping trip ever again.

SPRINGVILLE, Utah (KSL.com) — Family members on Thursday were remembering a Utah man killed in an avalanche in Wyoming as an adventurer who loved life and others around him.
According to his family, 31-year-old Nicholas Bringhurst was snowmobiling with one of his good friends Sunday in the backcountry near Star Valley when the avalanche came down.

Mother Cindy Bringhurst and other family and friends gathered Thursday afternoon and were reflecting on Nicholas’ life, including “his smile, his laugh, the joy he brought everybody.”
“One thing you’ll notice in a lot of Nicholas’ pictures is his smile,” the mother said during an interview with KSL. “He was just always there, loving others.”
Bringhurst described her son as an outdoorsman from the start, learning to snowmobile and waterski at the age of 4 and snowboard at the age of 5.
She said Nick met his wife when they were both working as river guides in Moab, and their outdoor adventures together were an ongoing part of their marriage.
“They loved rafting; he loves kayaking,” she said.
Bringhurst said her son was an extremely experienced snowmobiler and was well-equipped when he went out Sunday with his friend, Caden Spencer.
The mother called Spencer “our hero,” after he did what he could to save Nicholas’ life.
Spencer told KSL they had gone snowmobiling “hundreds of times” and it was a beautiful day before the avalanche struck.
“He was a dang good snowmobiler,” Spencer said, still visibly emotional over the unexpected loss.
Cindy Bringhurst said the family had a home at the south end of Star Valley, and it was a regular occasion for her son to go with his wife and friends into the outdoors there.
“We have loved our time up there with Nicholas and Lauren,” the mother said. “Because of this house, the last 4 1/2 years we got a lot of really quality time with Nicholas and Lauren when they would come up and we were all together.”
Relatives set up a GoFundMe* account to help Bringhurst’s widow in the near term with expenses.
The family shared many pictures of the couple appearing happy together in the outdoors.
“As we’re going through all these pictures, the thing that I love seeing is that he was with Lauren,” Cindy Bringhurst said.
She said she hoped others would reflect on how her son lived his life.
“That’s what I want people to take away from it,” Cindy Bringhurst said. “Live your life, live big and love other people.”
