Forecast for Wednesday overnight into Thursday morning;
Comments
Wind makes all the difference. I would like to live out my days somewhere the wind never blows. I wouldn't care what the temperature was.
..And then calling for temps of 40 above for the weekend.
Loved it when I used to ice fish, now not so much anymore.
too cold
we Are 30 mi south of Missoula only forecast to -20 here !! But we have the diesel tractor in the garage so it will start to feed the cattle .
montana is the best except for a few months a year !!!
not looking forward to it but just in case 😐️
what rumors I have heard possible worse than the blizzard in 1978 and that was no fun at all ( well a little but thats a different story 😁 )
so today just in case 😲 we stacked hay bales around the chicken shed / coup
put the tire chains and blade on the old 8n tractor
made sure the snow blower was good to go
filled up the gas cans, I try and keep about 35 to 40 gallons at least on hand any way
pulled the generator out of hibernation and made sure it was good to go.
filled up some jugs and buckets of water to have if needed ( of course bottled water we keep around any way )
I would not complain if I did it all as just a practice run 😁 and we miss out on the storm event
The north American model shows the possibility of a low pressure point forming at the intersection of North Carolina South Carolina Georgia and Tennessee If that happens there will likely be a counter clockwise Flow of air off the Atlantic That will produce more snow Going northward Along the face of the cold front going northward. Myself I'm out of the worst of it where I live But it'll still be cold.
That's pretty cold for you guys, isn't it? Keep an eye on Buddy's paws on that cold of ground.
So they never dug out a crawl space? There's no room to get under there?
Ken, when Spring and Summer roll around see if you can get those inaccessible sections dug out and replaced with PEX pipe. Even it freezes it won't crack. You should be fully retired by then and will need a project to stay busy, right? LOL!
Years ago replacing the fuel pump on my 1980 chevy PU. -20 degrees. Did this outside.
Retired now so can stay inside.
The older I get,the more I dread winter.
Real temps here tomorrow evening predicted to be between 0 and -3. Picked up four bales of straw yesterday from cousin's feed store.
Goats and chickens now have straw bedding in the barn. I have the coop inside the barn. Doghouse is on the deck. It's 4ft x 8ft and large enough to house all five outside dogs. They were treated to a bale of straw as well.
Shiggles and Cookie will be inside sleeping with me. Just a two dog night at this house. 😆
We just hit -20. 'Tis a bit nippy.
-26
feel like -43
Belgrade, MT weather forecast | Microsoft Weather (msn.com)
Now at -21. Can't wait to go out to feed in the morning!
Thankfully this is projected to only go for a day or so and then warm up to almost 40 which could make a real mess of things with 15" of fluffy white stuff on the ground.
Right??? Calling for 42 here on the week end. 85-90 degree change in 2 days. The wild wild west.
Stay safe, stay warm.
local news reporting we will be -30 to -35 Friday morning winds possible 30 to 50 mph gusts
2 to 3" of snow is the only good thing if you can call it that ☹️
JMHO I can guess power outages will be common also .
gong to be a three dog night for sure ...
-28 this morning with a 'feels like' temp of -35. Couldn't sleep past 3:30 due to worrying about pipes freezing. Got up and made the rounds and everything is just fine. Wood stove is stoked up and the coffee's hot. Supposed to warm up to a high of -14 today.
This damn gloBULL warming we got going on is keeping the temps above -75
The only thing predictable about the weather is that it’s unpredictable. They tend to sensationalize it so much anymore. Bottom line, it’s winter. Six months from now they will be telling us to stay inside out of the heat or we will die.
Good morning all,
😁
It was a balmy -23 here this morning. Good day to Irish-up the coffee a bit.
This was Bozeman (about 8 miles east of me) around 7 this morning
Clear blue sky though...
Wooo Hooo, UPDATE
Sun mostly shining, fog burnt off, snow stopped,
AND we warmed up to -24
You win, Joe! LOL! That's cold, buddy!
We warmed all the way up to -10 from -29 but the sun is out and it is absolutely beautiful. Bluest blue sky you ever saw.
We only got down to -13 here today.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Dang, you got off easy
Montanajoe, if your down to 44° below zero I’m putting you in for the tuff man award. I’ve seen it get down to 20° below here in west central Illinois, just can’t imagine 44° below Brrrrr. Just makes one wonder how animals make it through the winter in this kind of weather.
We sure did. Wish it would get cold and dry out all this snow!

True ^^^^
Good news Joe. Woke Liberals will move out.
There are several local social platforms through FB, Ask Bozeman, Secret Bozeman, ect. You would not believe the questions being asked regarding winter conditions. I understand they haven't experienced this before but yet they show no common sense. Then when they get a straight answer they come back with no you're wrong, back home......
"Then when they get a straight answer they come back with no you're wrong, back home....."
You ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!
Is there any way you can blow warm air under the house? Either from outside or inside?
Got up to 65 today and going to be 51 tomorrow. Low drops to 13 at night . Next 6 days lows at night in teens and twenties . Then back to daytime highs in the 60s with 79 on new years eve. Eastern nc .
