Much needed rain, and snow…and add in some sleet and freezing temperatures! And here we are right in the middle of it.
And we seem to be in one of the coldest places here in Butte, with temperatures in the 20’s for a couple of nights, and the rest in the 30’s. The coldest day the high reached 34 degrees…keep in mind the 2 days before we got here we had a high of 90 and then 80….
There was no snow in the mountains the day we arrived.
It was a bit much for Joy. My girl who generally loves cool weather is limping more than usual right now, as we continue to celebrate her 14 the birthday.
Some birthday gifts. Shiloh shares equally of course.
Joy chewing on her new stuffed toy.
Shiloh ignoring his. Can you see it sticking out from under him? He isn’t much for playing with toys.
Joy’s footprint on the step.
i understand about the cold. Some of my joints are uncomfortable right now too.
Shiloh doesn’t mind. He’s loving it and feeling pretty frisky for being 11 years old I think.
Joy still wants to go for her walks though. I’ve been trying for 3 short ones a day.
We are here until Tuesday, then on to Dillon, which won’t be better….probably worse, as another storm front rolls in. The leaves haven’t even begun to turn yet. This is unseasonal. They say after we leave it’s going back into the 60’s again.
So this is what it’s like when there’s a cold snap in the Rockies…up here by the Great Divide.

My cousin in Belgrade says the only people happy with the weather are the firefighters and those who have been evacuated! Cold but pretty!
Almost didn’t click the ‘like’ button because I imagine you’re worried about freezing pipes, not to mention aching joints and driving on slippery roads. But….I can’t not “like” either…so there you go.
Katie has the same toy, we call it her porcupine…she likes it a lot, though it’s a lot bigger than most of her toys. But then she always likes the new toy. She got it last winter from my sister when we were visiting in GA.
You must have had to scramble to get warmer clothes?? Those are extreme differences in temperatures!!
Bless Joy’s heart cause cold weather makes my bones/joints hurt too!!
Isn’t it funny how Joy loves her toy and Shiloh not as much!! Our little Shih Tzu, Nick,loves his 2 toys and that is all…no others!! His brother loved all toys!! Just like children….all different!!
You guys stay warm!!
Beautiful!
