Will The Arctic Blast Run Off Montana Transplants?

Montana is no stranger to frigid temperatures and volatile weather throughout the year.

Although we've had a couple of cold snaps and snowy days over the last few years, 2025 is proving to be a bit of a doozy.

If my memory serves me correctly, it's been about six or seven years since an arctic blast lasted more than a few days here in Montana.

So, it raises the question: Will this arctic blast be enough to make new residents think twice about living in Montana?

Living In Montana

One thing is sure: Living in Montana is not for the faint of heart.

Other states are probably more fitting if you cannot handle extreme winter cold or sweltering summer heat.

During the pandemic, numerous folks flooded Montana, hoping to live a quieter lifestyle and enjoy nature.

But the natural beauty of Montana most certainly comes at a price.

So, the question remains; will this recent code snap force any of Montana's new residents back out of the state?

No, I'm not advocating for pushing people out of Montana nor am I saying they're not welcome, I'm just curious how these new folks are handling a real Montana winter.

I was born and raised in this state and I'm not gonna lie winters like this make me wonder why in the heck I moved back to Montana. haha

As I mentioned above, Montana winters are not for the faint of heart and can certainly put a damper on your lifestyle.
