"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!). ;-)

Battening Down the Hatches
Hey everyone! You know you live in a wonderfully tight community system when you get emails like the one below. We knew that this weekend would be bringing cold temps that would make us glad we have plenty of wood, a backup system of electric heat and tons of hot chocolate (Anne call this "survival material"), but it appears that we should be digging out more long underwear and maybe even rigging a Little House on the Prairie style guide-line to get back and forth to the shop! The cameras are ready and will be rolling!

Holy Cow! Seriously? Not so excited about going to Miles on Saturday, now!
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not living there this weekend. Knowing my luck, I'd be giving birth Little House on the Prairie style (all by myself!). Nothing like a good storm to get some snuggling done!
ReplyDeleteAs a mother of two energetic outdoorspeople, ages 2 and 4, that sounds like the death knell. It's going to be a rough weekend! I KNEW I should've bought that big ole package of claymation movies, last time I was in town!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness there's plenty of coffee for mom and milk for kids and the internet for dad. Standing by for the updates, Anne!
I didn't know anyone knew abou the Larb Hills on this side of the river... that's where my brother lives and when it gets snowy like that, that's where he stays (although I guess he did get a snow-mobile last winter). BTW Anne, is her royal highness getting anymore sleep lately? Been thinking of you!!
