Missoula winters are depressing with the very short days and the Hellgate wind. But they are far shorter than the winters in Bozeman.

How about the 'good 'ol days, when you had the added effect of an inversion with the buildup of smog from the Teepee Burners, Hoerner-Waldorf, and all the wood stoves in the Hub of the Five Valleys, lasting for a week or two. Standing at the west end of the Oval and not being able to see the hands of the clock on Main Hall. Ah, those were the days!

And you just prayed the wind was coming from the east so as not to make the entire valley smell like the pulp mill!
 
I love it when bubcats try to talk weather smack.

Typical bubcat visiting MSLA: I spent like a week in Missoula in the middle of winter once, and never saw the sun, just a bunch of dirty hippies who never change out of their pajamas. I could have left my lined Carhartts at home and just worn my Carhartt P.J.’s all day.

Typical Griz fan trapped in Bozo: Where are the trees? WTF is all this white stuff? How do you even stand up or move? Who lives like this?

For real, with our mild temps compared to their blustery wind, if we simply built a lean-to, open-air, breeze-through type shed which they love so much and used it as our “indoor” practice field, the bubcats would be so jelly.

All bad weather smack is hilarious. "The weather sucks balls and it's cold as fuck, and that makes me feel tough. Let's go down to the loading docks behind Safeway so we can break bottles and cuss."

Edit: Unintentional rap lyrics.

I had a part-time job in the pulp mill lab. Coming home I had to change clothes on the porch or they would smell up the whole apt. The job was a piece of cake so I had time to study out there. Even today, if I opened one of the books I had out there I can smell the plant perfectly. I drove by there a couple years ago; it's a huge pile of rust.

Sad. My dad built or repaired large portions of that plant over the years.

What did they call it in the latter years? I remember they had a league team and checking them in at Larchmont. It was Stone [something].

That’s the one. Thank you. It was driving me nuts.

I was gone from Missoula by that time.

Funny, I worked in the lab out there too.
