A tip of the hat goes to MT's wildlife for their survival skills. From bears hibernating to frogs producing natural antifreeze, these creatures are resilient.
The first real cold snap of the winter is here and hopefully it finds you warm and toasty. With extreme cold comes a greater likelihood of something going wrong in your home or with your vehicle. Although the weather is uncomfortable and sometimes downright miserable, there are a few things that you can do to make sure things stay running smoothly in your household.
There's no doubt; Autumn conditions this year have been very mild in Montana. Global warming or not, we had it pretty easy weather-wise the past two months, and there's no question that most of us were all about it. Sure, we had some storms come through, but nothing that stuck around for long. Then this weekend's weather shed new light on the subject as I witnessed several cars, COVERED IN SNOW, heading from Georgetown Lake outside of Anaconda. This observation meant one thing for certain; the snow is headed our way and possibly here to stay! After all, it is November, and whether we like it or not, it is climatically time for a change of seasons in Big Sky Country.
