Butt Cold!


This has been Bobs terminology for our "Arctic cold front" aka "Butt Cold". And that it is! This morning we woke up to 5 inches of blowing and drifting snow and very cold. As the day went on, it got much colder and more snow (a total of 6.5 inches today). Our day consisted of finally doing some Christmas shopping and our trusty Weim-Jager joined us in venturing out into the cold. ****You know your from Montana when its freezing cold out and you leave your car locked and running while you do some shopping and you think its perfectly normal!**** So of course since we are a little redneck out here, we left the car running for Jager so she wouldn't freeze. And I think she enjoyed every minute of it. At one of our stops she was being so very good that we bought her some pig ears and bully sticks. Which made her very happy! So after several stops, crazy dang people who shouldn't be out driving (one of my pet peeves!), and the bitter cold; we decided that it was time to be in our warm home. So this evening Bob ventured back out in the weather to get some photos of our nicely decorated house in the fresh snow. Not to mention the weather outside was BUTT COLD!!!!
Here is the weather info while he was outside. Note: it was -12 below zero and a windchill of -35 below zero. Brrrr......
