| 2008-12-12 |
| NWS Notice Statement as of 7:25 AM MST on December 12, 2008 ... Blizzard watch remains in effect from late tonight through late Saturday night...... Possible life threatening conditions to impact the area this weekend... A storm system combined with an incoming Arctic airmass will bring snow... which could be heavy at times... tonight through Saturday night. Increasing winds with the push of Arctic air will create falling temperatures Saturday. On Saturday night... dangerous wind chills can also be expected as well as snow drifts of several feet deep. Wind chills Saturday night will drop to 30 to 65 below... which can create frostbite within 5 minutes. Traveling across northeast Montana Saturday and Saturday night is strongly discouraged and could be putting your life at risk. I also looked at the forecasts for SoCal and the snow levels for next week are not expected to get below 2000' or so at this time. |

| #3 Traveling across northeast Montana is risking your life no matter what the weather conditions. Highway 2 is a dangerous place for cars, especially at night. No lights for hundreds of miles and random cattle roaming across the road. |

| #2 Back in the late 1880's there were a series of severe blizzards across America. I wonder how the (lack of) sunspots of that period compare with the last couple of years. (I checked and did not see any clear corellation.) Between blizzards in Montana and snow in New Orleans we are clearly in a period of 'Man Made Global Climate Change'(formerly known as 'Man Made Global Warming'); I am amazed our ancestors 120 years ago, with their relatively primitive levels of CO2 generation, were capable of accomplishing just as much Climate Change. |
