Eiselein v. K-Mart, Inc.green2 sentences2017We adopted the natural accumulation rule in Watts v. Holmes, 386 P.2d 718, 719 (Wyo. 1963), where we held that a store owner cannot be considered negligent “for allowing the natural accumulation of ice due to weather conditions, where he has not created the condition.” [1Í15] The rationale underlying the rule is that “[t]he plaintiff is in a much better position to prevent injuries from ice or snow because the plaintiff can take precautions at the very moment the conditions are encountered.” Eiselein v.
