After the coldest night yet, nebraska was pretty thanks to a light dusting of snow.
After miles and miles of landscape like the above but not pretty, I saw scraggle pines and low but steep hills. I scrabbled for the camera and snapped some video. how useful. Then I saw the "welcome to wyoming" sign. Then there were mountains, captured successfully in a picture. you may have to double click it to see the mountains. 
Soon after it got really windy. I tried a couple times to capture the windy-ness, but eventually it got really windy and I stopped trying. My truck is now sensitive to wind and I posted record low gas mileage for the several hundred miles of wind.
Once I got off the highway and onto wyoming 191, the wind got worse and the roads got icy. From then on I've been running in 4wd, and it's a blessing. Without it I'd have slept stuck in a drift on 191.
I got into jackson last night around 8. I drove around for a while looking for a place to park for the night. There's no overnight parking anywhere in jackson. The streets get plowed, and there are signs everywhere for it, so I looked for vehicles with snow on them--these, surely, had been there for at least a couple of days.
I parked, later, at Albertsons, the grocery store.
