About the same here.....zero will be a couple hours behind that. The wife works in the courthouse and they closed/cancelled it YESTERDAY because it was going to be "dangerously" cold tomorrow. FFS At Scheels we have a bunch of folks that came from other stores in the upper Midwest and we just stand around and giggle about the candy-azz-idness of the whole front range. When my kids were in school they would cancel for anything below zero with any wind chill in the morning. My entire life living in the Midwest (IN and MI) the ONLY time stuff was cancelled for cold was a single day in MI when the temp local hit -36f and the wind chill was in the -60 range. I was playing hockey on the St Clair River that day......

It’s -22 outside and my wife has the ceiling fan in the bedroom on. Us southern folks can’t sleep without a fan.

-9* on the truck when I went to deliver my load today. The dealer had a shop large enough we were put inside so they could put the tires on so we could drive it off.
I sat on an open cab side boom for a full winter about 20 miles from the Canadian border in North Dakota one year. The humidity in that country with the cold and wind was something I hope to never have to experience again.
We are -26 right now and we will still have the ceiling fan on.

That’s just a windchill…
Big deal. What’s actual temps
Big deal. What’s actual temps
Memories : frozen waterbowls and split pipes, gutter cleaner frozen and inoperable, silo unloader frozen and inoperable, tractors won't start, manure spreader frozen and inoperable, etc. Really though, what a great life lesson for a teenager : learn to think and solve problems, work to overcome adversity, no quitting allowed !!
Memories: 1975 MT and -35 for weeks with windchill of -75. Log cabin to live in free and all the water you want in the frozen creek. Nice 2 seater outhouse.
Job shut down due to cold conditions and I headed to my older sisters wedding .
It was a frozen snow mess all the way to Portland and down the coast as far as Sonoma. SLO was a good stop for a day to surf.
It was 75 in Pasadena and I moved to SLO after the wedding.
Been back to MT twice after and it was the memory of that cold that led me to SW NM.
21 this morning at my place and breezy now.

I think I'll move to Montana for the hunting. Oh HELL NO! I can't imagine dealing with those temps.

I must say that when the nation wide cable channels were reporting the temperatures in Montana this morning using wind chill I was not all that offended.

Little bit colder up my way...I was hoping it would hit -40.
Therefore we kept the floor fan going per habit.
