One summer my wife and I spent a few days on the BAR W Ranch in Whitefish, MT. Whenever we are in Montana she inevitably gets around to asking about the weather in the winter. The ranch manager told her it had been a pretty mild winter, not too much snow and it only got down to 23 degrees below zero, but that was only for a few days. 17"h Basswood, boiled linseed oil, acrylic washes and liquid wax.
