So apparently posting a screenshot of your smart phone is how the cool kids let people know how cold it is in Great Falls nowadays. Here are three shots from three different friends of mine; two were posted on Facebook, and one was posted on Twitter. And I must say – after this unseasonably warm autumn and winter, it is kind of nice to finally have real WINTER temperatures.
The Daily Beast has published a list/gallery of the America’s 25 Coldest Cities, and Great Falls landed at #22 on the list – woohoo! The list was made by using the following factors: average winter temperature for 2009; the temperature of the coldest day and the warmest day of the season; and the number of days with snow; no idea how much weight was given to each of the factors.
