[mtmiller]

Predicted lows for this area on Sunday....-30 to -45.:BLEEP:

I may go hunting, but don't think I will be spending the night in the pick-up.

Oh well, only another week and I will be in the Vally of the Sun.I

Hi all,

No newsletter this time around, just a heads up that this storm this weekend is going to be a big one. Snowfall totals of 7-11 inches will be common throughout NE Montana, with some areas possibly seeing up to 12-14 inches (mainly Phillips, Petroleum, NW Garfield, and perhaps the Big Sheeps and Larb Hills).

The cold front will be moving through the region on Saturday morning. The winds with this system will be pretty significant as well (NW 25-40 mph gusting up to 55 or 60 mph), causing blizzard conditions, and snow drifts measured in feet. The snow should end by Sunday morning.

The winds will be less on Sunday, but the colder temperatures will keep wind chills pretty low. We'll see lows of 20 to 30 below on Monday morning and again Tuesday morning with highs on Sunday and Monday in the 5 to 15 below range.
You can keep up on the latest forecast and conditions from your area by going to http://www.weather.gov/glasgow.

If you have outdoor or travel plans this weekend, it would be really good to reconsider those, and stay home, read a book, catch up on movies, or play a game with the family. Those are my plans (and to clean the inside of the refrigerator!). ;-)

I guess goose hunting Saturday morning is kind of out of the equation. I better restock the beer fridge and make sure the liquor cabinet is full.

Oh well the cold keeps all the riff-raff out.

You think that is bad, it sleeted here for about 20 minutes yesterday. Dang! John

 

[mtmiller]

Yep, should see some snow before it eventually ends up in NoDak.

 

[Calif. Hunter]

Yowza! It's going to hit the low 40's on Friday and Saturday nights! Slight chance of snow at higher elevations Saturday night and Sunday....

Now I see why you Eastern Montana guy's are so cranky. It sucks over there!

It only sucks because western Montana blows.

You keep tossing them grenades over the divide, we keep pulling the pins and tossing em back.

Crap, I'm smack dab in the very cold area, with plans to travel through much of the frigid next week. Hopefully it will clear up some by next Friday.

You northern boys have a few 3 fat-chick nights ahead of you.

No offense Miller, but that advice from Ken is hilarious. Now I will try to clean the rootbeer off my keyboard. Friggin funny.

I just got off the plane from a trip to AZ for a week. Went from 75 degrees in PHX to 9 in Milwaukee in less than 3 hours.

Looks like we might get dumped on as well. Just glad TMOB isn't working this weekend, the driveway will need shoveled...
