And so it begins...

The time has come for me to delve into my first winter in Montana. Let me give you the bullet points.

  • Saturday was 55 degrees. I went on a hike called Lava Lake. It was fabulous.


  • Sunday was down to 15 degrees. The sky was gray and ominous…all. day. long.
  • Monday was 7 degrees with 3 inches of snow…and light flurries throughout the day.

  • Tuesday -3 degrees, 2 more inches of snow.
  • Wednesday….a whopping -10 degrees in the morning, up to 7 degrees with the vibrant sun midday.
  • All of these days, "no plowing necessary" say the Montanans. Rather, "we shall sprinkle DIRT on the roads, this should help create a nice slick chocolate icing-esque paste on the roads, which are sure to make driving better than packed ice, but not as good as clear roads." Please, they need to keep the adventure in their day to day commute.
  • I am happy to say that next week should be a scorcher, estimated to climb into the high 30's!
  • It's safe to say, that I have entered a new territory…and the hazing has begun. Let's hope I make it through.
