Who the fuck keeps $1500 in cash at home? His guys started taking it apart right then and I had to call the cops because it was 14° and snowing and we had 6 year old twins sleeping upstairs. What a mess that was...

It's down to 2° now making it a 53° drop since 6am. Thankfully there's almost no wind.

Wait ... WUT?!?!?

I call that home invasion/robbery, justifying self defense shooting.

Power back. Will leave generator out and mostly set up until after tomorrow though.. Because this week has been so awesome so far LOL!

Heh, yeah the cop was impressed with my restraint. He said I should send some pics to the local paper. Fucker left the old furnace in the middle of the driveway blocking the cars in.

Back down to 8°, at least it's not like the other end of the state where emergency responders won't go to certain places.

or get shoveling

it took 10 min with the heat gun to thaw out the carb linkage its under and engine shroud so I couldn't see it but it slowly opened until the enigne was at full throttle, i got it covered with a piece of tin roofing so it doesnt happen again

a foot of pow at valley floor is not that common, I'm glad it got running instead of shoveling

High of 17F and low of 9 tomorrow on Vancouver Island. Some may scoff at those temps but that's pretty damn cold for here especially being very damp.

**BCMtnHound** · 01-11-2024, 10:11 PM

Was -16C at 5am, that’s the warmest it will be for a few. Currently about -23C, will hit -35C Fri night. Better switch up the wax regime, gonna be a bit grippy out there.

**riff** · 01-11-2024, 11:26 PM

Think i’ll take the red ones tomorrow…

-25 F this morning in Helena, supposed to drop to -35 tonight. Possible record low.

**jmedslc** · 01-12-2024, 09:16 AM

Holy fuck these temps are gnar. Not sure if I would be rallying too hard out there at -25. Or really minus anything. Sheesh

Edit to add we have 11° and snowing and blowing here in the Wasatch

**liv2ski** · 01-12-2024, 09:20 AM

Right? I pretty much draw the line close to 0. Your results may vary.

**Danno** · 01-12-2024, 09:29 AM

It's a balmy 25 here right now. But supposed to hit -8 tonight, and tomorrow has a forecast high of 4.

**Iowagriz** · 01-12-2024, 09:39 AM

Western Montana data.

Yeah, may not get to 20 F at my house today. That's very unusual for these parts.

KQ · 01-12-2024, 10:08 AM

11 here this morning

**BCMtnHound** · 01-12-2024, 10:26 AM

At least the gloom of valley fog has retreated. Can see the local peaks turn pink in the sunrise this morning.

Had to coax the pup by her collar to come in last night, she still wanted to sleep outside at -29C. Let her out this morning and straight to her snow pile to lie and survey the neighbourhood. Kitty went out for 5min, twice, before deciding it wasn’t for her.

**Viva** · 01-12-2024, 11:56 AM

-11 outside, 36 inside. Yeah, I'm a fridged bitch.

Thought I saw a sign at Mac pass or somewhere near Helena that recorded the lowest ever temp in continental US at something like minus 68.
