Hello Patty,

Winter here seems to last forever lol. This year winter started early

for us. At least with the extreme cold temps Oct and nov were really

cold this year, Not all that uncommon to still be getting snow here in

May. We have all ready been down to 20 below a couple times this year.

But as of lately it has been very mild here compared to what it is

normally. Been in the mid 30's to low 40's for high temps and that is

much milder then normal. Janurary is normally one of our coldest

months. But as of lately we have been getting more rain then snow here

in the Valley. We don't even have snow on the ground here in town

anymore and that is far from normal. Our snow usually sticks around all

winter long. The coldest I have seen it here since I have lived here is

a temp of 25 below zero and a windchill of 55 below zero not all that

pleasent when it gets like that. With all the snow that back country

has recived this last week we now have high risk warnings out for

avalanche's. This is my last winter in Montana I am leaving after this

year but don't know where I am going to yet. I just can't deal with the

extreme cold anymore. Well I will go for now, this reply got longer got

way longer then I had planned lol. I get a typing and just can't seem

to stop lol. Until next time, Take care.
