It Is Cold!!!!
Here is a front page story in the Billings Gazette. I live in Glasgow. It isn't that cold. Just - 38 this morning at my house oh and the power was out for 3 hours between 2 am and 5 am. and the temp in my house dropped down to about 48 degrees. Even the dog wanted to crawl in into our bed to get warm. Oh well I guess it keeps the riff-raff out.

It could be worse.
You could be in Glasgow.
At 2 p.m. Tuesday, temperature in the Valley County seat was 16 below, and that was probably the high for the day. A foot of snow was on the ground and darkness promised a drop to 28 below.
But Mayor Willy Zeller was optimistic.
"They're talking about getting above zero by Thursday,'' he said. "It's going to get better.''
Not that he's counting, but "There are only 85 days until spring comes,'' he added.
Glasgow Public Works Director Jon Bengochea also looked on the bright side of an otherwise dreary winter day.
"We have lots of snow and it's really cold, but it isn't as bad as last year,'' he said.
Last year was one for the record books in northeast Montana. Glasgow buried its old record with a total of 70.7 inches of snow.
Glasgow had the lowest temperature reading in the state early Tuesday, but conditions weren't exactly tropical anywhere in Eastern Montana.
By evening, Opheim had the state's extreme low at 33 below, according to the National Weather Service. That was some 60-degrees colder than that state's high temperature, 32 degrees in Thompson Falls.
Early afternoon temperature in Wolf Point was 11 below, but reached an afternoon "high" of 9 below.
Also during the afternoon, it was 10 below in Havre, 5 below in Sidney and Glendive, 3 below in Jordan and 2 below at Baker.
Billings basked in a high of 4 degrees. And a 7-degree heat wave hit Bozeman, Lewistown and Livingston.
Temperatures in northeast Montana are forecast to be in the single digits today and rising to the teens by Thursday.
