Wow, what a warm day! The colder air in Montana is marching to Kansas and Nebraska with strong winds expected. @NWSTopeka @NWSWichita @NWSBillings @NWSMissoula @NWSGlasgow @NWSGreatFalls @NWSHastings ##December #kswx #mtwx #newx

A record warm Christmas in the United States. In Kansas, with fog only around 50 in Belleville but up to 75 in Wichita. @NWSTopeka @NWSHastings #MerryChristmas #warmchristmas #December2025 #kswx

Wow! Who could have guessed I'd be sipping wine on the porch swing two days before Christmas! It's sunny and 60 with a very light breeze. Happy Holidays to all from the farm near Belleville! @NWSTopeka @NWSBillings @NWSGlasgow @NWSMissoula #sunshine #December25 #Christmas #kswx

Mountains are great. But I still love the tallgrass prairie. What a beautiful day on the farm! (NW of Belleville, KS) @NWSMissoula @NWSTopeka @NWSBillings @NWSGlasgow @NWSGlasgow @NWSHastings #WinterSolstice #December #kswx

Hmmm. It's 15, windy with light snow at the farm. It's 53 in Missoula. Why did I come to Kansas? I am enjoying retirement, no matter the weather. I miss Missoula. @NWSMissoula @NWSTopeka @NWSHastings @NWSBillings @NWSGreatFalls @NWSGlasgow #kswx #snow #December #mtwx

Ah, Kansas. A restaurant with a cool picture of mammatus clouds. These clouds indicate a severe storm with turbulence. Love it, Salina! @NWSTopeka @NWSMissoula #mammatus #thunderstorm #kswx #salina

Although mostly cloudy, I did get to see a brilliant sunset on the farm northwest of Belleville. Winds have diminished and the temp is in the 40s, I believe. @NWSTopeka @NWSMissoula #kswx #sunset #December

Cold full moon over Kansas with clear skies. Over Montana, but cloudy with snow there. Now I'm ready for a warmer moon, ha! @NWSTopeka @NWSMissoula #fullmoon #ColdMoon #December #December2025 #kswx

Back on the farm northwest of Belleville (Kansas). Got around 2" or 2.5" of snow earlier today. Crazy strong wind and cold. Beautiful sunset. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! @NWSTopeka @NWSMissoula #kswx #snow #sunset #november

Clicked my rubies. 1300 miles and 18 hours on the road since Sunday. And may I say, it is extremely windy in Kansas and Nebraska, but the sun is shining! @NWSTopeka @NWSHastings #wind #kswx #newx

Sunflowers from my retirement party. Now on the way with me to the Sunflower State. I'm clicking my ruby slippers, going to the Kansas farm. I'll be back to Montana later in December. @ABCFOXMT @NWSBillings @NWSGreatFalls @NWSMissoula @NWSGlasgow @NWSTopeka #kswx #mtwx #sun

I know I'm retired now but I wanted to share these with you. Amazing picture of what appears to be a multi layered lenticulure cloud. Beautiful sunset in Missoula. @ABCFOXMT @NWSMissoula #NOVEMBER #sunset #lenticular

Week of retirement! November sun shining & life is good. I'm on my way to visit my former colleagues @ABCFOXMT. I salute them. I will then drive to Kansas to be with family. Clicking my ruby slippers! @NWSGreatFalls @NWSMissoula @NWSGlasgow @NWSBillings @NWSTopeka @NWSHastings
