December to remember!!

Fortunately no major damage around my neighborhood but we are in a wind prone area that is used to 60 to 70 mph winds. Some of the lower valley areas seem to be worst hit. Billings airport hit 77mph which is definitely impressive for them!

Looks like I’ll be buying a sump pump tomorrow. We never had any water underneath our house last winter…but I just looked underneath our house and we’ve got about 6” of water down there. It’d need to come up like a foot before it was a more serious problem but still not ideal.

I feel like we hear about March 2012 every year. Haha. I'm sure we'll repeat it at some point, but it's exceedingly unlikely in an given year, even in modern times. Probably a much better chance of a major SSW in February, lol
