Too hot for me. We usually get maybe 6 days a year above 92 degs.
I wear one of these when the temp dips to 80 degrees and lower...

Not going to get above 0F for a high temp here in montana for most of the week....

They say we don't have colder weather than maine or northern wisconson etc.. It's just that it lasts longer. You mean other people don't have snow in june?

We do have good ice skating on our outdoor community skating rink tho.
 
Winter is here now. It snowed here non-stop all day yesterday and overnight the temperatures dropped well below freezing. I went outside this morning to clear all the snow off my car and the snow on it was frozen solid to the whole car. All the doors, the hatchback, the hood frozen shut, none of them could be opened for me to get into it to start it up to warm it up a bit.

And to top it off, there is bitterly cold wind coming from the north.

gaah

So I said to heck with that nonsense, I don't need to go anywhere and I left the car alone. It will have to fend for itself.

The streets and sidewalks are all covered with deadly black ice and frozen packed snow on top of the black ice, and that in spite of salt trucks prepping the roads and sidewalks for two days ahead of time, and snow plows working overnight non-stop last night and more salt going down. The roads were chaos everywhere today, vehicles slip, sliding around and going off the roads.

All the school kids got a snow day off from school today. Lots of kids bundled up like roly-poly teddy-bears were tobogganing on the hills today and having a blast enjoying a day off from school.

that's not as bad as zero...

it's weird here today, almost feels wrong. Warm, windy and humid in February, but supposed to get hit with way more snow next week. I hope not
Nope. Not anything as bad as that. And no ice on the ground or piles of snow, so I really shouldn't be complaining. The pup is already parked in front of the woodburner, sleeping, on his back, legs in the air. Looks like a dork. Ha.
 

Seasonal Weather in Rocky Mountain National Park​


Winter Season (December, January, February, March)​


Lower elevations on the east slope of Rocky Mountain National Park are usually free of deep snow. At higher elevations, arctic conditions prevail. Sudden blizzards, high winds, and deep snowpack are common. The west side of the park experiences more snow, less wind, and clear cold days during these months. Most high country overnight trips require gear suitable for -35 degrees or below. Skiing and snowshoeing conditions are best in January, February, and March.

The Scrolling Banner at the Bottom of the screen showed Advisory of -45F...!!!
 
It's 31 degs and we're getting a heavy wet snow. It's very unusual for it to be this warm in February. Supposed to snow until Friday with a possibility of 2 more feet of new snow. Good news is it's going to start cooling down tomorrow. I'm going get the big snow blade out for the tractor today. It's totally buried in the snow, but I think I know about where it is.
I tried snow blowing this morning but it's too wet and just plugs up the blower.
Every winter is a challenge. Good news is, it usually starts melting in April.
