Brad,
Unless you've spent a few winters living in the northeastern corner of Montana, you don't realize it's above the Arctic Circle....
Mule Deer;
Good evening to you John, I hope that this first Sunday of 2020 finds you and Eileen well.
As mentioned previously, I grew up on the eastern side of Saskatchewan, nearly into Manitoba and roughly a third of the way up.
Anyway John, as such I can state that it's been scientifically proven that when the north wind starts to blow southward from Fort St. John or Grande Prairie, the 3 dozen trees between there and Bismark and Sioux Falls don't impede it's velocity appreciably, thus making for the Arctic Circle conditions in between.
So it is that Wolf Point, Scobey or for that matter Maple Creek and Assiniboia get the balmy weather we all grew to know and love...
When I tell my kids folks used to freeze to death going home from church or curling back when, they just look at me and shiver.
All the best to you and Eilieen in 2020.
Dwayne
PS:
Those are dandy white coyotes that Pat has for sure.
We don't see them that color or size here.
