Cooler Days

The Friday morning video update is ready for viewing:

First off, thanks to everyone who made some very kind comments here on the blog concerning that ugly e-mail message from the lady who missed her soap opera. They are really appreciated.

As I write this, Cutbank, Montana is at 31 degrees below zero with a wind chill index of -47. Mercy me. Thank goodness that air is headed east, and not south.

Cool and dry are the words for the next seven days. Actually the hardest part of the forecast involves the clearing today; the clouds are still hanging tough as I write this, and the forecast I wrote for today is "mostly sunny". There is no doubt the highest percentage of forecast boo-boos for me over the years involves the timing of the clearing process after a big storm system like yesterday.

Gonna try and grab a power nap here shortly and head out to see a big group of second graders at Greystone Elementary.

James, this weird winter is really getting me down. I really love cold weather, and this year has been just plain odd. Summer will be here soon enough baking the meat off our bones.

What does the long range show, or do you really know yet? Are we going to have anymore winter at all or should we put away the blankets and sweaters and go ahead and break out the shorts and tshirts?

I'm 40 years old and can't remember a winter this strange.

I wanted to thank the whole ABC 33/40 crew for keeping us informed on the severe weather. I work in Tuscaloosa and my children are in daycare and school in Fayette. I was really concerned about them, but thanks to James and whole gang, I knew exactly where the storm was and knew my kids were ok. You guys do a wonderful job and we all need to thank God ever day for James, Brian, John and Jason. Thank you again guys!!!

Hey, where's Oldshue these days? I missed seeing him during the stormy weather on Thursday.
