It's around 27F here in the Seattle area which feels plenty chilly. It boggles my mind to think Miles City is 54F! degrees colder. Brrrrrrr.

Jordan and Havre had the national (lower 48 states) extreme low temperature overnight at -39F. Punta Gorda, Florida, had the extreme high yesterday at 88F.

Was down to minus 32 here, near Fallon,Mt., this morning.

It hit +54 here yesterday. It will be cooler today, but I’m not complaining.

Send that pineapple express our way, Hal.

Hal: what software are you using that displays the weather like that?

Part of Alaska is in Zone 8 (similar zone as southern Alabama, Mississippi). That would be an island that is off shore. Some of the Aleutian Islands are in zone 7

David, I don’t that I would, even if I could ; -)

But I do want thank Folks in the 48s for taking this off our hands for a while. It’s just darned thoughtful of you Folks.

Don, I'm afraid you've lost me with the zone stuff. Don't know what you are referring to.

Ah . . . gardening/horticulture zones. Now I get it. Thanks Dave.

It was cold enough to freeze the you-know-whats off a brass monkey this morning. DAMN but it was COLD.

Get ready to replace many damaged or killed fruit trees. And a long cold winter could further reduce the already small deer population.
