Winter in South Western Montana

[kiramdear]

We're having a cold snap up here. Frosty mornings, BRRRRRRRRRR.

In So Cal, it's cold any time the temperature drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Well, expect to be cold for at least a few days!

Dude..... Southern Arizona.

Isn't Arizona posting travel advisories on their highways near Phoenix because of the violent Mexican drug cartels?
Let it snow!

Not Phoenix that I'm aware of (daughter and sibs there), maybe Tucson?

I do not understand why you're surprised, CJ; "Winter in South Western Montana" just sounds icy cold.

Hey, I'm a good 200 miles south of where I used to live, it should be a LOT warmer here!


Actually, I understand the So. Cal mentality quite well as I lived there from 1962 until 1976, and then again from 1985 to 1989. I've gotta say, I do miss the surfing, but much else...

Wish I could post pics. I have some great sunrise shots from last weekend in San Felipe, BC. The days were clear and in the mid 80's. God, how I love (and HATE) Southern California.

Aw come on man, 37 is downright toasty!
BTW, it's all the way up to 7F right now... Hit -12 last night...

That's OK, CJ. They say that people who live in very cold climates live longer. Well actually, they don't live longer; it just SEEMS longer. One of the big reasons that I traded Connecticut for SoCal was that you don't need to shovel the smog. Tom

What is this Fahrenheit stuff anyway? Enjoy your cold snap CJ. Go ride a tractor or a skidoo or something.

Man...........and we're going to get an 82 degree Thanksgiving....I'm kinda gettin sick of these summer holidays!

Yeah, except when I come visit you, THEN it's 37°!!
I thought we went to Freezeneyworld instead of Disneyworld that day!

Well, I knew Disney did some cool effects, but that was a bit over the top.

Yeah, but we don't breath the snow in to our bodies. So, maybe we do live longer.

Fahrenheit is a temperature system we use here in the U.S. so that when it's cold, we don't feel so bad. I mean, the other night when it was -12F, if I'd been using Celsius, I have had to say it was -24, which sounds a LOT worse. On the other hand, when it's hot, we can make it sound a whole lot worse. Saying it's 95 out sounds FAR more miserable than a measly 35...


I don't have a tractor anymore. But yesterday, I was riding this for a couple of hours...

Well, I dunno... when it's snowing and blowing, I seem to manage to breathe a fair amount of the stuff...

That looks like a great winter toy CJ. Cat's version of a Bobcat with a heated cab too by the look of it. All the comforts of home.

Well, it's after Thanksgiving, so I guess these guys are pretty safe now...

We've got LOTS of them around here...

We've got LOTS of them around here...

And there's a big bunch of them in Washington, D.C., too. Tom
