I spent a few hours in Missoula getting my truck repaired coming up on 40 years ago.
Walked around the town and talked with some of the locals. Great people.
I asked one guy I met about the winters there. His reply was “If you don’t have a woman they’re long, cold and miserable”.
Some women can make your summer long, cold and miserable. lol
Can someone give me a quick primer here...?
Let me guess...Bozeman, Butte, Billings, Missoula and Great Falls are the obviously big cities.
Of those cities, which ones does Gianforte have a chance of winning? Or which ones does he need to not lose too badly in?
40 years is a long time ago. My ancestors were homesteaders in MT. My grandfather settled in Gallatin Gateway when it had the main post office. MSU was a college you went to. Since then Bozeman swallowed it, and now MSU swallowed Bozemen via politics.
I lived in BOZEMAN back in the early 80s.
Winter lasted from mid-late August until early June.
It got as low as -39 F (71 degrees below freezing).
You really had to enjoy winter.
