We don't usually have it get this cold in the SF Bay Area. This morning I got a frost warning from the National Weather Service on my phone for my town.
I remember a call one night from a rancher in Montana. He called KGO and the talk show host asked ( in January ) :
" So what's the weather like there right now ? "
Caller " Well, i got to go out and take care of my dairy cows. Right now its -35 with a wind chill factor of -50 with high winds. "
Recently some talk show got a call from a guy up there who said we USED to get regular -30 days and we don't see that much any more in Montana.
