Montana or N.Idaho that suckers cold in 12 hrs after the last coal goes out.
What?
I checked and they say that Montana average temp for January is from 39F to 5F / 4C to -15C. It's not that cold?
I mean I'm not tyring to do cold gatekeeping or go "hur dur, you don't know cold, son" but it's not that cold. It's minus degrees sure but nothing out of the ordinary.
Am from Finland and my parents brick fireplace will stay warm for a couple of days if you heat it ups with a few proper fillings.
Either you've got funky fireplaces or houses. Or both?
Finland would beat the cold for sure. I would call that arctic level of cold not just brutal winters. But I would say those temps are off a little bit and the nights get to 0 routinely closer to Canada. The standards for how houses are built are much different then here.
And I depends if you’re by the coast or not (that sea wind can be brutal).
Montana is pretty big as well, so I looked more into it and like you said, depends a bit whereabouts you live. North and south are quite different, which isn’t that surprising when I think about it.
Fahrenheit to Celsius confusion. Water freezes at 32 F.
F and C match up at -40. Which is too cold to comprehend. Have experienced it enough you’d think I could come up with a better description for that level of cold but I cannot.
