The day before yesterday the weather report on the radio said the over night low temperature in our nearest “Big City” was 6 below zero. I spoke to a friend in the saloon last night and he said it was an even zero degrees in “our” town that same night. Out at our place it was 27 above. When I first bought The Gulch one of the old time ranchers told me he use to run cattle up there when he was a kid. He said we would always be 10-15 degrees warmer during a cold snap. It has always been warmer than town during the winter and 10-15 would be a good guess at the average difference, but this 27 degree difference is by far the greatest I’ve seen.
