OK, it's a matter of perspective....... I came away concluding that the Wyoming climate is really nice to machines.... What I was thinking about was that it is dry.
Precipitation can be very bad for vehicles in climates where the DOT uses salt and sand to treat the roadways for ice and snow. A dry climate is “nicer” to machines than a wet climate.
In the states that salt roads, body and chassis rust and corrosion within 2 years can virtually destroy a vehicle. Sanded highways cause a huge number of damaged windshields, requiring repair or replacement. Replacement of windshields on the newer cars and trucks with camera-based technology for lane departure warning, collision detect, heads-up displays, rain sensors, and de-icing heating elements, can cost 100s of dollars and take days to get replaced.
