We’ve had a mild winter by all accounts and shouldn’t be complaining when the temperatures finally take a turn for the colder. I don’t know, maybe we thought we’d escape the worse this year. But we’ve only had a couple or three really cold days, so when it hits minus forty, we naturally start to whine a little.
The official low in Island Park was – 37, but I know it was colder than that at Macks Inn.  Temperatures there were closer to 45 below. Even at 11:00 a.m. it was still -30. If you’re snowmobiling, that brings the wind chills to, oh, about -80. Better bundle up.  As my dad would say, “that’s cold enough that even the brass monkeys are wearing their long underwear.” I agree.
Love the BRASS MONKEY analogy…YEHAW~
