You sound just like me. If it weren't my family being all around me here in Oklahoma, I'd be way the hell off in nowhere, with many acres surrounding my home and signs posted to beware of projectiles...

I like to joke about building a little self-sufficient compound in rural Montana. Then having signs posted coming up the road marked with meters and shot groupings. As you get closer you see the shot groupings get tighter and tighter.
You're making me want to pick my sh*t up and move there. Love the cold weather, yes I am weirder than the average bear, and find Wyoming as one of the most beautiful places on Earth (visited several times).
High today is mid 80's with the normal daytime humidity dropping into the 20-30% range as it gets hotter. That's hot for this part of the state.
I lived in South Florida, folks are now in Little Rock metro, in-laws in Houston metro....those temps with that humidity...ill take it!
Granted I don't live in Wyoming but it's just amazing isn't it @wyomingosualum?
We live at 8,800 feet in the Rockies of Colorado. The high today is 77 degrees, humidity is currently at 55% and will drop as it warms to the 30's. This evening we will likely have some nice little showers since the monsoon season has started and it will just smell absolutely amazing. It's also the same here with hitting mid-eighties, that's a hot day. On average we hover around 78-80 in the summer.
Our winters are glorious. We average 85 inches of snow and it doesn't just stick all winter. We have nice enough days it melts off before the next snow and our biggest snows are in March through May. We can get two feet of snow and it will be gone in a few days. My family just absolutely loves it up here. We live pretty close to deer creek so at night you can hear the water running which is something I've always wanted.
It sucked coming back to the OK weather after spending the last 5-6 days in the Rockies
I can only imagine. We don't even like heading out to the panhandle to see family in the summer. We usually try to plan our trips there in the fall through spring timeframe. And it's not as bad there as it is where you're at. I hate that the kids and Carrie got sick and we didn't make it out to see you guys while you were here. It seems the kids always get sick when we plan something. Last time we went to see family they got sick the night before.
That's why I always tell people that the winters here aren't bad at all! And no one knows it unless they've lived here!
Remind me where you all moved to a few years back. Bailey?
Yes sir, we are in Bailey. People back in OK and TX will give us a hard time in the winter when we say it's cold in the plains. I always explain it's not cold like that here. It's a different cold, not a negative wind chill you can't keep from cutting through every layer of clothing no matter how much you wear. I tell them I'll take our snow and cold any day over the winter storms they have.
Based upon your description of your winters, I knew you had to be on the east side of the divide.

Yeah. Not a native obviously. I keep hearing "well, at least you aren't from California."
