Winter took its sweet time getting here, but it has finally arrived. Thanks to El Nino, Montana has had a mild winter for 2023/2024. We recently got a taste of the snow and cold we would expect from a typical winter. Other than the extreme arctic blast we experienced, temperatures have warmed up slightly making for perfect conditions for winter fun...
The temperature got so cold that it inspired an Arizona weatherman to share with his audience how he feels about anyone living or considering a move to Montana.
There is a good reason why Montanans are so hearty. We have learned to deal with both temperature extremes. Yet we also tend to complain about whichever temperature is currently bothering us.
