Looks like it was the coldest day on record for Bozeman airport. All-time record low max of -24, 3rd coldest min on record of -45, and coldest mean on record of -34.5.

Departure of -54 

That’s nuts.  -50s departures.

Think most schools are 1/2 day tomorrow and would just assume cancel now rather than deal with potential issues tomorrow with storm in AM.

Road side safety, more clearance in case someone flys off the road, more space before they hit a tree 

seems like alot of energy, money and time for something that doesn't happen all too often.

I heard it was done for weather reasons.

Our superintendent said he’ll make the decision at 5:00 am tomorrow.  So as of now we’re still in session tomorrow.

Generator gassed… 10 extra gallons of gas. Let’s see what happens

Looking forward to our 38mph peak gust

It's really become embarrassing.....every storm is a bomb cyclone etc now. Nothing but hype....yes, we'll get some strong winds but with leaves off of the trees and no snow involved.....power outages will be few and far between.....IMHO.

that makes the most sense-why blow a day for what could be just a windy rainy morning

Hype sells. End of the world and everyone is out. The mall was jammed packed. Went to tj Maxx to buy the wife a gift card. The cashier line was 100 long, no joke. Left and said I'd come back tomorrow

yeah it definitely is, I actually remember walking to school in Waterbury in the 80s and plows on the road, one dog that used to chase cars got scooped up in the plow and shot out, dog was fine but pretty funny looking back at that, we lived on a state maintained road in Waterbury, so they used to come by at like 40-50mph, from thomaston, old RT 8, fun times
