up to 2 feet of snow on the highest peaks and 4 inches down low. and lots of rain below the snow level. winter is not quite done yet. The east coast might be liking some of this about now.

out and make it at least possible to afford to cool only my bedroom this summer but still keep my pup comfortable. The past two days have been hell. Even at 7PM it is 95F and I can hardly get my girly dog to go on her evening walk. (She's 14 and I feel awful dragging her out in that, but fortunately it is cool enough for our pre-dawn walks).
I would adore another round of cold weather, snow--whatever they want to send to me in Colorado, but I see nothing like that on our horizon.
I HATE HOT HOT WEATHER! So does my doggy girl and every other sane person I know out here. 
heat index yesterday 105, today 103, tomorrow 102 maybe?
so i went out and bought my little dog (who is also around 13 or 14 yrs) a doggie "cooling pad"
i've talked to her about it, put it under the bed where she chooses to sleep and after 3 or 4 days she is still like: "what the hell is this thing"
i put my hand on it and it feels cool. i wish she'd give it a chance. she had her chin resting on it for awhile. her arms awhile. last night i was on hands & knees, talking to her, telling her to give it a try. she reached out a little farther and put her two hands on it! 
i really love cool and cold weather too. not this hot crap
Only because the sun came out…but the wind is howling and it’ll start raining again shortly. My whole porch is stacked to the gills with my house plants because that’s where they live all summer…looks like a low of 41 tomorrow morning and that’s too cold for my plant babies. Guess they all get to come in for the next two nights. Sigh. Happy Solstice in the Rockies!
As I heard about this cold today. Good grief. Normal, a bit warm though, over here. Going to be really hot the next few days, not thrilled about that but glad my garden is doing well.
That was one of the luckiest days of my existence! DUers helped me with unloading my car and reloading after I blasted 70 miles back to retrieve it. The guy who found it was there and wouldn't accept a thank you gift, the $50 I had stashed inside.
As it turned out, I only lost about 14 hours and was only about 40 miles off course when I got back on the road. Unbelievable.
I put in the garden right away, there was no time to waste as I was a couple weeks off my timeline when I returned from Fargo in April. But things are growing and the conditions are perfect so I was lucky with that too.
Haven't found a place yet but haven't looked that hard as I had a lot to deal with when I arrived and had some grace period on housing priorities so I'm using it. I created the cushion so I could rest up after the move. Once I find a spot, I can settle in and carry on. I hope we still have a country then!
And I hope it warms up enough for you to have a flourishing garden too. I have a feeling we'll be needing the food they give us more than usual.
we can grow. I started my garden way earlier this year to get a head start. There’s been lots of covering with the whacked out weather but I think it’ll end up being a win in the end even with all the extra efforts.
Even with the cold and rain, there’s a science fiction convention here in Missoula as well as the Pride celebration. The streets have been packed with glorious weirdos and people having a good time. Nobody being angry assholes that I’ve seen or heard about. It’s been a nice reprieve from the dystopian hellscape that is now our existence. Missoula recently adopted the Pride flag as an official city flag and our thug Governor’s panties were all bunched up over that…he said we should be ashamed. I thought that would make you crack a smile.
That asshole deserves every bit of grief he experiences and then some!
Boy - did we need the moisture though! Flathead Lake will not reach full pond. 
When I lived in eastern part of MT, it was 3 hours, each way and only in good weather, to get to any shopping. Living in Helena was better.
