BITTER COLD-MONTANA

Parts of Montana hit record cold temperatures

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Bitterly cold air covered the state early Thursday, breaking records with temperatures falling to as low as 50 below at Elk Park north of Butte. Wind chills as cold as minus 56 were reported in Livingston.

Montana State University Billings canceled classes for Thursday over issues with heating the campus. The university is on an interruptible natural gas contract with a propane backup. Facilities services director Jason McGimpsy tells The Billings Gazette the backup system was "kicking out on us throughout the day" Wednesday. If the backup system went out, the entire campus would be without heat.

The National Weather Service says record cold temperatures were reported in Bozeman, Dillon, Fort Benton, Great Falls, Lewistown and West Yellowstone. It fell to 34 below in Great Falls, shattering the old mark of 28 below set 121 years ago in 1893.

Boys were in MIles City today with some bulls on mainstreet,know it was a bad day.Ibeen there done that so stayed home close to the fire. ONe thing if a bull buyer does come by on a day like today its because he is true'ly interested, not just a curiosity seeker. Said it never got above 0 there today.Heck of a way to make a liveing.

Up to +16F today - - - our normal is supposed to be +47F this time of year but we have been running about 20 to 30 degrees below normal for about 18 months to 2 years with a few days that will go about 20 degrees above, get you thinking good thoughts then the bottom drops out again.

43F here today and the 6 inches of snow we got Monday night is rapidly becoming run off. 70% chance of rain/snow mix tonight and tomorrow. But it's gonna have to cool off some to make snow.
