Snow in Wyoming A “Thank You, God” Event For Those Living In Shadow Of Elk Fire

Seeing snow on the face of Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains on Friday was a “thank you, God” moment for those threatened by the Elk Fire. It’s already burned 96,000 acres, but the storm has helped firefighters go from 28% containment to 44%.

Thank you Lord!

We love Wyoming so very much! We also love the Cowboy State Daily! I wish ever state has a news service like the Cowboy State Daily, so down to earth! Glory!

Two weeks ago, Chad Flanagan got an urgent 3 a.m. notification — get ready to leave his lifetime home in Dayton because a huge wildfire was raging down the face of the Bighorns above the rural Wyoming town.

He rushed outside to see the mountain glowing orange as the Elk Fire burned out of control.

The call to evacuate never came, but the fear and uneasiness he’s felt since took an emotional turn Friday morning.
