ok...you win (Grin) Didn't know it was a contest 🤣 We have had some strange stuff going on for December.

We went from -48° to 51° in 3 days....99° temperature swing. Welcome to Montana not unusual.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Sorry to hear of issues in your areas. We had a warm up over night, I thought I could hear water dripping, we leave our window cracked about 3-4 inches so was more prominent. Wasn't as cool in the room as normal, checked temp we're sitting at 41°, 6° higher than predicted for the high today. Was supposed to be snowing and not a flake in sight. Wish I had a job where I could be wrong 85% of the time and keep it. Hope you guys stay safe and warm.

We don't get a lot of that type of ice, that clings to our power lines and causes those kinds of problems and issues, on occasion but pretty rare. Most ice issues are on the roadways and having to drive defensively and deal with all the transplants that have moved in here and have no business being out on the roads. We are very fortunate with our power, I can't remember the last time we lost power, and it was only part of town, ended up being a car accident where someone ran into a substation and damaged it. We are sitting at 19, had a bit of a warm ip overnight, well on our way to our high of 30 for the day. Will be mid 30's for Christmas tomorrow with snow in the a.m. Hope all of you guys have a safe weekend especially if traveling, remember the reas for the season. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Heat wave today, warming up to 16° above. Going to be T-shirt weather tomorrow high of 30°. Scorcher on Christmas day of 35°. That's a 75° increase in temperature from lastnight when I ran an errand at 5:20.😁

Gee Thanks. 😁

Most everyone does, I do as well. I went to work and temp dropped to - 27. Didn't have the right fuel mix in tank. Need to be running 50/50 or No.1, I hadn't driven my truck much first part of the week so not much room in tank for No.1 to top it off. Hopefully the fuel additive will help.

Colder than they predicted 🙄. Hmmm.... why doesn't that surprise me. With with all the technical equipment nowadays you'd think they'd get it right. House is creaking, things are contracting with the temp drop. Supposed to be 40 on Christmas.......we'll see. Still not the coldest I've felt. Was working in North Dakota, ambient temp was -64 with 40+ mph sustained wind. Windchill was -117+, not pleasant. Only had to be in it for short periods of time. Coldest temp ever recorded in the lower 48 states was in Montana in 1954. About 100 miles from here, -70 at Roger's Pass. Was said it was so cold trees were exploding and shattering due to the water content in the sap. Has happened at various times around the U. S. Don't think I'll be doing a lot of running around today. I do have to go get my pickup today, diesel started gelling up lastnight on the way home from work, added 911 fuel additive and parked it in a friend's warm shop. Had a full tank of regular No. 2 diesel, 😕 when the cold hit, should have had 50/50 blend. First time that's happened to me in the 12 years I've had my truck.

Poof no eyebrows

Cooling down

Day starting out with a bang

Jeff, Renee says she wants you on her team with that kind of dedication. Wow! That must of been miserable.

So sad when things like that happen. Even more so this time of year.😭

And it's a different cold from what Prov has. Ours is a dry cold not a lot of humidity here, but yet wonderfully brisk and piercing.

Forecast has changed, potential temperature drop to -45 Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Then supposed to possibly be 40 degrees on Christmas day. 🤔 If those temps are reached it supposedly will be record lows for this time of year. I know it gets cold here and -45 is really not out of the norm, maybe I just don't remember that it hasn't been this cold in December. Just won't open the bedroom window as far as we normally do.😁

The 17th of October of this year a 9th circuit Court judge deemed it against the 8th ammendment of the United States Constitution to enforce anti camping rules against those experiencing homelessness if no alternatives to sleeping in public are available. So law enforcement is not allowed to force them out.🙄

I hope these folks, "living by choice", on the side streets of Bozeman, love their living conditions with what's coming mid week here. -37° Is ambient temperature.

I wonder how these folks are gonna be loving the -37ﾟ temperature that's coming? This is on our side streets in Bozeman.

We're cooling Down this week. But not bad for Christmas day. Currently -14. Wednesday looks to be chilly🥶

Be glad you're not in Bismarck North Dakota!

🤯 wow!

We're in for some cold stuff over Christmas. Possibility of -25 for several days.🥶 I'm thinking 🤔 I don't like that possibility very much.

Yikes!!!!
