What is funny I was born and raised in Los Angeles. But the military took me away from LA at 23. I felt the same way about the cold temps but being in the military and being stationed in northern tier of the US you get used to it, at least I did. I retired about 2 years ago in Minot North Dakota and moved to Glendive Montana due to job obligations.
Yes it is cold here there is not doubt about that. The rest of my family is still in the Los Angeles area and they try to get me to come back. I just don’t want to because of to many people, crime. I just don’t like the hustle and bustle anymore. Where I live now, the population is around 4500 people and most businesses are family owned except for Albertsons, Taco Johns, Kmart, Subway, Dairy Queen. We have no Wal Mart, McDonalds, Burger King etc… The nearest Wal Mart is 75 miles away, McDonalds is 50 miles. It is something to get used to but you live with it. When I told my family that they said how do you survive or something of that nature.
There is very little crime here and believe it or not people still leave there doors unlocked when they are not there. If you forget to lock you doors when you go to bed you really don’t have to worry about it. Enough rambling.
Well looks like I am the only reporting station in the area. None of the stations are report for my area. I just checked weather underground and noticed that. I wonder what is wrong with those stations not reporting. As long as my power does not go it, I should be okay unless my internet provider runs into problems.
It is -23 degrees this morning and windchills in the mid -40’s degrees. I broke my all time record for low temp. That includes the record I set in Minot North Dakota. My windchill record is -47 and as of now it has topped out at -45.8. I won’t be going outside that much today unless it is necessary. I do have to take my kid to school and that is about it.
I thought every one in Glendive worked for the railroad. A Hoghead is the one who drives the train. At least that is what those of us that fix them call them No id.ea why
She does not spend a whole lot time in there because of being cold. She usually sits out in the living room with here labtop. The only thing she does not have Dreamweaver on here laptop so she can work on her web sites.
Trust me my see’s what I write in this forum. Maybe I should have reworded that differently. But you do know when it is could is when you have a solid layer of ice on the window (not a dual pane window). Looks like we will stay in a deep freeze for the rest of the week and going into early next week.
