Hello,

As a Montana native I know and remember the chill of the weather. As children I wonder how we walked to school in brutle tempatures.

And yet I miss the upcoming holidays and sibling enjoying themselves even with the

temp's.

Merry Christmas to you all.

I just can't even imagine weather like that! WOW

@Kachina624 

That has our record breaking wind chill of -50 beat out in the Eastern plains of Colorado in Sterling. Wow.

Do people live in Elk Park?  Or is it just a mountain pass? 

I am not familiar with that area so any posters from Montana?

Either way, that temp is just brutal; almost apocalyptic!

@Cakers3    Probably a lot of elk but they obviously have a weather reporting station, and a volunteer fire department.  Maybe a suburb of Butte?

I'm  in the NE, the temperature is zero but wind chill -24. I got up early to make sure the bird feeders were filled and to remove the snow/ice. The birds have been constant at them all morning. Took care of the stray yard cats too. I have electric heat and the wires are underground so, unlike so many others, I shouldn't lose power.

@Cakers3  Western states are not heavily populated.  The largest city in Wyoming is just over 65,000 people. Looking at photos, it looks more like a large town.  The most people are in Colorado.  This may change in the future as more and more people leave California for Idaho, Montanna, etc.

That would not be good for the water situation.
