We woke up this morning to our first frost and a chilly 22 degrees -- that's Montana for you! To be fair, we are always one of the coldest spots around ... for example, Missoula was 33 degrees and Helena was 38 degrees, which is a typical difference in temperatures. We're routinely 10 to 15 degrees colder. I took this photo of our disabled dog building, Widget's House, from the front step of our house as the sun was coming up. Our first frosts always seem to occur the last week of August or the first week of September. The forecast for tonight is 27 degrees.
And this being Montana, that means winter can't be very far away!
