It's a whopping 12 below in Last Chance Gulch, Montana this morning, clear sky and winds out of the northwest at 10-15 mph. Oh well, it could be worse. Plentywood, Montana was minus 35 this morning.

Did you know my county has the widest variation in record temperatures in the US? Record Low -70; Record high 105.

CJ, when I was stationed in Rapid City South Dakota in the early seventies, I was told that Rapid City, at that time, held the record for the greatest temperature variation in a twenty-four hour period. If I remember correctly, it went from below zero to 70 degrees within 24 hours.

I can attest that the weather was strange out there, not unlike certain senators representing that state.

B-r-r-r-r !! Get close to that fire in #17 ...

Big swings in Montana, huh? Sure is.

The coldest I've ever seen was in Spokane, Washington when it got down to -20 F the winter of 68-69. The hottest was the record summer in Dallas 1980 at 113 F ...
