Montana is so bad, folks should definitely move to California where it's nice and warm by the fires.... Don't be saying that "f" word around these parts, we got lucky this year. Still dry as can be, 0.3" rain in Oct. And warm.......by some of y'alls standard.......................sunny CA was 6F this morning, this part of Cali anyway. Forecasting the same tonight. Mosquitoes? Our dide off back in Sept with the first good frosts. Haven't seen one for over a month!!! 51 degree spread here today, got way up to 57F this afternoon. Good weather for splitting wood and catching up on my recorded HOCKEY games. (Is there some kinda baseball thingie going on now? Is it important????) Youse guys enjoy the cold, you'll be btichin' and moanin' bout the heat soon enough. Geno

In the mid 80's I spent a few years in Yakutat, coastal Alaska. I have since seen heavier rain, in the Philippines, but have never seen so much rain. Just pour day after day after day, nonstop wet deluge..... I was a lot tougher then, we all were, just get out in it and do whatever needs done. January rain in Western Oregon about 39F can be pretty convincing too. Here in Montana, I think it rained for several hours once, it was like really raining, LOL. Our place is in a rainshadow here, doubt we get 10" annually, of rain.

Snow is something you can ski on and is pretty, and is part of life in the mountains which can be travelled to as desired. Rain is boring and wet and generally sucks. It would seem that many people who live in rainy climes are boring and complain too much....except for those on the CF  mike r
