<–click the picture (2 times) for full screen. Up to 60″ of new snow has fallen on the east side of Glacier National Park in Montana. Here’s more pictures. Schools closed and drifts up to 12 feet high blocked roads leading to the town of Browning. Johnny Noe of the St. Mary’s lodge reported snow falling at 2″ an hour with five feet of new snow and drifts up to the 2nd story! It was the worst snowstorm in at least several years. Interstate 15 was closed for 75 miles from Shelby to Cut Bank. Icy roads were blamed for two traffic fatalities. And…a nuclear missile will be removed from a silo in western North Dakota. Following record snowfall in North Dakota this winter, the Air Force placed sandbags and built earthen dams around the silos, but water still leaked into one of them. Now…get this: “A Minot AFB spokesperson says the missile will be tested as a precaution.” Don’t you wonder how they test a nuclear missile? Call McGuyver?
Sounds like these ignorant politicians ought to be tied to the missile and sent off with it. I’m also wondering what they will do to test it.
Reminds me of a bugs bunny carton!…. I thought winter was over, glad I’m not there. Have a great day everybody!
Somalia?
The North Pole? Shrinking it more an more?? LOL
Bill…Are you saying they are going to launch the nuclear missile?
Jevon, there are such things as diagnostic tests. They “test” the missile to make sure all the systems are ok. Don’t worry, you won’t see a nuke coming for your backyard
