I'm in Butte, Montana. We're in a valley surrounded by mountains. The cold gets trapped in here and doesn't leave for a week or two. If you look up Butte, Mt. on the net, you will see where it was 54 below zero once. My kids came back for X-mas, and their cars were froze up, tried to pull them, and their tires were froze flat. It really does get cold here. I dread it! We are the same elevation as Leadville, Colo. A mile high! Pat |
