Well if not having tumbleweeds makes WY "blessed"... it's
probably it's ONLY blessing. Ewwww, too many memories of driving
through blizzards and/or wind storms.

No, that's untrue, I do have good memories of the 2 Little
America Truck/Rest stops. Great food and friendly workers there.
Beyond that though, nahhhhhhh.

As far as tumbleweeds go, I have one. I rescued it when I was
driving through Texas. I wasn't too far from both the Mexico and
the New Mexico borders. I used to keep it in a corner in one of
the guest rooms... looked neat just "sitting" there.
