Winter Arrives

Two nights ago, the first significant frigid air mass fell from Canada and dropped across Montana.   Overnight, our temperatures plummeted from long-sleeve shirt to mittens and wool cap.  We are nearing sub-zero temperatures and will likely remain cold for more than a full week.

For those people who have never been exposed to frigid weather in any meaningful way, I can define what it means in very simple terms.  Last night, I scampered outside to soak in my hot tub during a snowstorm.  Sitting there in the rising steam, I froze my hair solid.
