| Late Evening December 14 Temps in Montana |
| 2008-12-15 |
| Baker -21 °F Billings -14.3 °F Bozeman -13.3 F Butte -15 °F Cut Bank -23 °F / Glasgow -25 °F / Great Falls -14.3 °F Havre -31 °F ------------- Several of these locations in Montana have already set new daily records and nighttime cooling has just begun. At this time below zero temps covered all of ND and SD, almost all Montana and Wyo, most of Neb, Wyo, Mn, ID, Iowa and large amounts of WA, OR and Kansas. This looks to be one of the coldest nights in several years for the lower 48. |

| #14 And that disappearing Polar Ice Cap is back. Sea Ice So much for the butterfly effect upsetting the earth's ever so delicate balance. Indeed, it seems only the glo-ball vorming crowd is unbalanced! |

| #12 Looks like they've bottomed out this morning. Probably there will be at least four dozen new daily 'cold' records in the N Plains, including both low maxima and low minima. The coldest I saw were some -32F readings at Havre and Grasgow. Denver set new record minimums for both 12-14 and 12-15. I apologize for the type. It should have said "12/13" not "11/14" |

| #11 Indian Winter Forecast: It was already late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared. But being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?' 'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?' 'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.' The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?' 'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.' 'How can you be so sure?' th e chief asked. The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.' Always remember this whenever you get advice from a government official!!!!!!! |

| #9 The hysterical shrieks are amazing, that the terribly cold northern hemisphere is being caused by global warming, even though none of their models even speculated that it was possible for there to be cooling. Maybe someone should suggest to them that the only way for them to get the global warming agenda passed is to start violently hitting themselves with claw hammers. Which they HAVE TO DO, or else global warming will destroy the Earth. |

| #6 Here in my little Iowa town it's 2F, but with the winds at 29 mph (gusting to 41 mph) howling out my window, it's the equivalent of -22F. No snow, because it got up to the 40's this weekend and pretty much melted it all. |

| #5 Interior Alaska -10F to -25F at Northway. Driving home tonight it was +1F. Montana sounds bloody cold. Put some more wood in the stove before bed. |

| #4 Yeah, see, normally temperatures are protected this time of year from going below zero by the O-zone layer. Since there is now an O-zone hole, temperatures fall right though. There is no telling how low they might go. |

| #3 Maybe less confusing if relabeled "...12/14 Temps..." ? Or maybe I am confused. |
