...weather Montana style

Those of you who read this blog on a regular basis already know I was in Montana for a family medical emergency for the past couple of weeks. I won't go into the details here as you most likely know the story. I will, however, focus on the extreme weather conditions I encountered while I was there.
It all started with temperatures above 80 degrees and ended with a raging Montana blizzard. Every bit of it within a ten day period.
Life in the Rockies, eh?
When I landed at Logan International Airport in the middle of the night on October 1st I could feel the warm air and knew I had made the correct clothing choice when I was packing for the trip. But, when I left yesterday I tromped through the snow after parking my rental car and shivered toward the terminal.
In a way it was a good thing because it got me thinking about winter here in Alaska. Maybe the weather man was preparing me what I have to look forward to for the next six months. You know, setting my mind right for the promise of what's to come and all. But, I think I'm ready. I got some new boots at Sportsman's Warehouse. Tough boots. Boots for the weather. I'm prepared for anything, even...weather Montana style.
