Following a fortnight of moderating weather, winter is once more crowding my back door. An Arctic impulse came kicking at us with bitterly cold north winds, dropping the temperature by dozens of degrees in only a few hours. Rain turned to snow. Snowmelt puddles all around us froze solid.
As I
write this, the temperature outside stands at -2 Fahrenheit.
Only
a week ago, I suggested to Desiree that we were about to stride from winter to
spring.
A
stupid, rookie thing to say in Montana, that.
In
reality, only one statement regarding weather in Montana is accurate, and remains
accurate at all times.
And
here it is: “Around these parts, winter is just around the next corner.”
