Winter Solstice 2022
A couple hours ago … official Solstice.
Shortest day of 2022.
And Holy Cow!!! This year we are so far having a real as in an old time Winter … or late Autumn Montana thing…
The last several years we could not count on a White Christmas.
This year it is a given!
After a very warm and dry October we had the crazy early November snow which did a lot of damage.
But, then … a segue into an old time Montana late Autumn/early Winter weather pattern.
Red and very cool easy on/off bindings and flexible poly ‘shoes.
As of this writing, I have snowshoed more so far this year than the last 3 years combined!
The snow is perfect.
Today, 12/21/2022, Winter Solstice … we are on the cusp of an extremely cold … maybe record breaking cold weather event.
Yesterday through this morning we got a foot of new powder snow.
Snow part of the event is likely done, but the cold-super cold has a day or so to go.
Meanwhile…
Stay tuned for more :)

Wishing you and the boys a Merry Christmas! The snow is beautiful…..none here, but extreme cold/high winds tomorrow. Brrrr…Gina and I will be hunkering down for sure!
Love the photos! It’s been -2C here but no snow. A lot of rain earlier and now foggy.
Have a great Christmas! Love to you all xx
Love your snowy pictures!! Your boys seem to enjoy the snow. Christmas blessings to you.
I haven’t read that we broke any records … but, it was -18F at my house this morning and -32F at Kalispell airport (valley floor!)
And then … power went out at my house at 7:15 a.m. and was off until 2:15 p.m. Temps did get up to -7F …
I will write all details in a new post but we stayed warm with the woodstove, I have a 1 burner butane camp stove and all manner of battery backup devices … still, I am glad the power was on before sunset!
