    Guess I'll put on a jacket...

    Just looked at the forecast:
    Today Snow. High near 6. Wind chill values as low as -16. Northeast wind around 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Tonight Snow. Low around -23. Wind chill values as low as -44. Northeast wind around 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Saturday Snow. High near -10. Wind chill values as low as -49. Northeast wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Saturday Night A 30 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -21. Wind chill values as low as -42. Northeast wind 10 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

    I guess I'll not wear shorts and a tee shirt, maybe put on a jacket. Truth be told, even by Montana standards, this is getting to be a pretty cold/snowy winter. We are already over two feet above normal snow fall for the area. We still have a lot of winter to go. Might get a little wet around here in the spring when all of this melts.

    Long cold winter.

    Global warming.

    Had a "cold front" roll through last night and it's a high of 75 today. Sunshine with high 70's/low 80's starting tomorrow through next week. I'll take it!

    Never thought of that, should have brought a bottle with me while out muzzleloader hunting a couple of months ago. It was dark and -24 when I started my 3 hour+ walk but had warmed up to -20 by the time I took this picture.

    Posthole do you remember that one year at deer camp when the jack in your cup froze overnight? That sure was a cold year.
