I wondered why SBS News showed this almost mini ice age beginning first with immediate follow up of the Un clinate global warming meeting showing all the old hot weather shots with power stations issueing stem(people are expected to think its smoke) and of course Al gore still trying to sell his carbon credits.. Not forgetting our own summer freeze last month.. How cold does it have to get before they stop with the lies. I can't find one person on the street in the pubs or anywhere, that believes them any more.. Its climate change right enough... but not smoke. Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: Lockridge Here is a message that was sent to the Universitythis morning to broadcast widely. Check out the slides. This is supposed to be a very dangerous storm. ========================= Good afternoon everyone. Everything looks just like it did yesterday. The timing appears to be about the same with the development and progression of this upcoming potentially life-threatening event, so I will give more of an overview of how it looks like things are going to shake out. I will also attach several JPGs to this email that will depict what's coming down the pike and how much snow to expect. If you can avoid going outdoors (especially from mid day Saturday-most of Sunday in Montana and from Saturday afternoon-Sunday in ND/SD) that would be great. This will be a bad one. Friday: This will be a nice day to get things ready. SE MT will probably see temps in the lower 50s. Temps elsewhere will be in the 40s. The Arctic will begin oozing into MT near Cut Bank late into the evening. Late Friday Night: At midnight, take a picture of your thermometer. It will be the warmest temperature that you will see for several days. The flood of Arctic Air will begin to rush into North Central Montana and northern ND. Marias Pass will be the first pass to be significantly impacted (probably just before daybreak). A rain/snow mix will begin across Western MT but will change over to all snow by daybreak (and begin accumulating). Saturday Morning: The Arctic front will quickly move south, passing Great Falls , Glasgow , and Helena by mid morning. It looks like Dickinson ND , Billings , Bozeman , and the Missoula will see the Arctic arrive around lunchtime. High winds, heavy snowfall, and dramatically falling temperatures will accompany the front. Expect localized blizzard conditions especially going over the remainder of the mountains passes along the divide (as well as Bozeman Pass ) for the remainder of the day. There is a good possibility that the bulk of the snow will not arrive in ND/SD until early afternoon, so the Arctic air may arrive first. **The Interstate 90 corridor will be majorly impacted beginning around lunch time.** Saturday Afternoon: From a safety standpoint, this will be the worst period.The heaviest snow will move into the eastern half of MT and the ND. The Dillon area in SW MT will also begin to be majorly impacted. (Yesterday, it looked like Dillon might escape the worst of this system. That is no longer the case.) There will be significant travel difficulties arising from whiteout conditions in most areas, especially the eastern half of MT and the mountain passes. Saturday Night: By evening, the main impact will begin to become frigid temperatures and wind chills. Temperatures are expected to fall into the -5 to 5 degree range across Western MT (the Missoula area), -10 to 0 range near Kalispell, -15 to -25 range across areas east of the divide (not including ND). Temperatures across ND/SD will be somewhat buffered by significant falling snow. Gusty winds to 30-40 mph in all areas should translate to wind chills in the -30 to -50 degree range. Sunday: High temperatures will probably be in the -5 to -10 range for most locations. The windy conditions (and dangerous wind chills) will continue through the day, except over Western MT where the winds could start decreasing in the afternoon. Winds should begin to diminish over the rest of the area Sunday evening. At this point we all really, really want the cloud cover not to break up. Bad things will happen to the temperatures Sunday night if the skies clear and the winds drop off, especially with snow on the ground. Sunday Night: Either Sunday night or Monday night will be the coldest nights, depending on how much cloud cover is left. If skies clear out and winds drop off then overnight low temps in the -30 to -45 degree range can be expected in areas east of the Continental Divide and in Butte (especially over NE MT and N ND). If we can somehow hang onto some cloud cover, then overnight lows may be buffered somewhat (Maybe only -20 to -30 degrees). West of the Continental Divide temps between -15 and -25 will be possible if skies clear out and winds diminish. If the cloud cover hangs on, lows will probably be in the -10 to -15 range. Monday: Skies should clear. Temps will remain below 0 in all areas for the expected highs (minus double digits across NE MT and portions of ND). It shouldn't feel quite as cold as it really is (as long as you are in the sun.) It will feel even warmer indoors. Ha ha. Monday Night: With the clearing skies, lack of wind and good snow cover, this could be the overall coldest night. Sunday night's worst case scenario values (for both the areas east and west of the divide) will probably be observed. Tuesday: Temperatures will begin to slowly moderate in all areas. A cold, dry northerly flow will probably create some low level cloud cover, which should prevent temperatures from falling too far off Tuesday night. This will be my last update until Tuesday. (I will be on leave tomorrow and am normally off on Mondays.) Good luck and remember that there is a sale going on at the store on Milk, Eggs and Bread. (Everybody seems to make a run on these things prior to events such as this.) The images are attached below.
