No...no....we LOVE that weather when visiting Yellowstone...keeps the fair weather folks inside the Old Faithful Inn...and means when we go to the various sites, it's just the heartier folks out in the cold...and the air is crisp...MMMMMM.....
We love winter in Yellowstone...and would gladly trade the heat and RV traffic jams for a raincoat and layered clothing...

I'd agree with you if it were snow or just cold...but it's supposed to rain like the dickens, too. Cold and wet is not my idea of fun, but cold and dry - that's for me. I absolutely love mountain winters, especially after growing up between Chicago and St. Louis. |

Rained on our parade at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, but just added another dimension to the thrill of the rides and made the inside exhibits that much more enticing, not to mention how nice that last cup of hot chocolate and coffee were before, drenched, we called it a day!

Now, now settle down we have plenty of cool weather to share throughout our great state. Have patience and your house will sell.
Okay, back to my Fall cleaning now that it's nice and cool
