Sounds like this poster didn't do there homework LOL! Laramie is a great town. I've lived in all kinds of climates many I didn't like. I dislike heat and despised the summers I lived in the hot humid Midwest. I purposely chose to move to Laramie because of the climate. I lived for many years in the mountains of neighboring Colorado and the weather here is similar. Remember that you are living in a wide open valley at 7200' elevation not at sea level on the beach. Summers are stupendous with tons of sun and weather in the 70s & 80s. Winter....well I'm looking out my window at a light breeze, sun, blue clean sky, 20 degrees and a bit of snow. The wind was 45mph 2 days ago and that's expected. Yep the road sometimes closes, you're living at high altitudes and that happens. It also happened often when I lived in Iowa at 1400 feet. Iowa winters sucked compared to Laramie IMHO. Yes do your homework. Don't move anywhere that doesn't suit you. If you want malls, big box stores and for sure winter travel then this is not your place. If you want a friendly small city with clean air, lots of sun and moderate summers, Laramie might work. I chose to retire here and love it. Down sides? Sure, every place does.
