Location: The Cabin Front Yard- Townsend, MT
Not much weather to report today. This morning started sunny and stayed that way throughout the day. The temperature was –5 in the morning, then it warmed up though the day to 5.7 degrees and as of this writing the temperature is now –0.7
The ‘heat wave’ as it may be called did cause some melting of snow from the roof of the cabin beside where I am stationed. I fine it fascinating how snow can melt at 5 degrees. The roof must absorb the sunlight and warn the snow enough to cause it to drip off the roof. Yet once it started to fall it froze almost instantly causing unique ice formations on the bushes adjacent.
I have included a larger picture showing better my surroundings. You may inform my superiors that though bushes surround me, I was placed so that they do not actually block any weather coming my way. (They do prove to be quite aesthetically pleasing however.)
As always, I will post my next report tomorrow.
