Montana is not suited for wusses ...

And yes, you get used to it or adapt. Being born here and having grown up with this being normal makes all the difference. And good grief the kids are tough! It doesn't seem to bother them like it does adults, I see that at the school picking my own boys up, the adults are clutching themselves and hunching up in their jackets as small as they can make themselves and visibly uncomfortable on those -30 type days typical of January in this province. The kids are running around on the playground unbothered, they couldn't care less! Every now and then i have to give them for not keeping their toque and mitts on!!!

A doctor in town here gave me heck for not wearing proper winter boots on time when I had an appointment, and I said it wasn't that cold yet. He laughed and said "ah yes, you were born here….my son is the same way!"

This doctor was originally from South Africa, so winter in Saskatchewan is something he has had a very hard time making peace with haha. But his son was born here and is no different than "the rest of us"

Yeah it is not uncommon to see kids in shorts when it is 0 or above when the sun is shining. Not something I would do but- whatever.

And the school teachers on recess duty are freezing and telling the kids to put their coats on!

I've shoveled the walks many times in shorts and tee shirt @ 10 to 30 F…..as long as there is zero wind! You shovel fast! memtb

My neighbor brought his buddy out with him that trip. WV boy- built his own rifle. Like made a lot of the parts. He's a pretty amazing guy- his whole family back there is (I knew them as well). He brought this monster- a .338 Lapua and it weighed OVER 20lbs. He had dual shoulder straps for this thing. Me and my Montana buddy were like "Jeffie- that's a heckofa rig, but you gonna be able to carry that thing? We're gonna be logging in some boot time here.." Yeah so that lasted a few days when the snow and snow fog and wind kicked in, lol. He started carrying his dad's old Weatherby, lol.

They'd never seen hoar frost, never been exposed to below zero temps... They did well though.

This is Jeffie with his monster rifle, lol.

If I remember we dared him to lick the fence. He came close until Brian told him if he gets stuck he'll have to pee on his tongue, lol.

temps/forecast for NC where I am, have improved. 19 for temps with single digit wind chill. That is cold enough for me, but I will be out in it all weekend. Hope you guys up in Big Sky Country stay warm.

Darn this global warming. Proof right there that the libtards have it nailed.

I started cutting wood the day with a 20 inch bar . Then the 35 below rolled in !!

We have survived the worst part here in Central Texas. It was 10° yesterday morning but has crepped up to 75° now......more like normal winter Temps!

 

[Laguna Freak]

Sadly, Southern Idaho's, the "Banana Belt", compared to, Montana !
Only going down to around,.. Zero to 2 Degree's, in the next, few days here.

Ahhh hell. That's nothin'. It's been sub-zero F for a few mornings in NE OK last week.

For 30 years I loved Central and South TX Not-Summer. The other season sucks hot lava!

The ambient temp here outside Buffalo WY early this morn was -39. Calling for -50 wind chills.
I think our high yesterday was -14... but we had more wind where I was (headed to Billings). Sure was nippy out.

I need to correct this. Wife gave me the weather info that morning. I believe we were in the -24 deg ambient and -39 wind chill that particular day... with up to minus 50 wind chills expected.

I have been here for 62 years so far and have never got use to the heat......looks like the cold isn't on my favorite list either. The 3 days of spring and 3 days of fall are the reason I stay.
