This trip!
We just landed in Missoula after a 5am taxi ride, 4 hour delay, 7 hours in the air and many in airports. Now we are waiting for the hotel shuttle. So glad to see my duffele!
And its only 20 degrees! Not too.cold! Although the high later this week is 6. Not sure I’ve ever been in that low a temp before!
Glad to be here [finally!] and looking forward to a hot shower and cozy bed!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
You look so cute in your coat! Hope that doesn’t sound creepy. LOL
And a high of 6??? I’ve never heard of such a thing! I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Rochel says
Glad to see you weren’t more delayed by weather. Have a great time.
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
Wow! What a day! Glad you two made it there safely.
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Glad you made it safely! 6 and 20 degrees isn’t too uncommon here in upstate, NY. You get used to it. 🙂
mindy @ just a one girl revolution. says
Glad you made it safe!!! Stay bundled up and you’ll survived those temps like a pro!
Hannah says
Hurrah, you made it! Rest up now… 🙂
Camille says
So glad you made it!
When I was in Colorado in December it dropped in to the negatives! That was the colest i have ever been in and boy was it crazy cold!
Stay warm!
Sarah @ See Sarah Graduate says
Congrats on finally making it!!! 🙂
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
Oh, wow. Good luck with that 6 degree high temperature this week. Better you than me. I was dying in 30 degree weather this evening!
Ameena says
It’s about 49 degrees in L.A. right now and I’m huddled in a blanket and my thickest sweats. I don’t think I’d survive a minute where you are!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
Glad you arrived safely! We are dipping down to the 30s tonight, which considering yesterday it was 75 degrees is quite a jump!
Sana says
yeah i was in great Falls VA tonight and it was a chilly 22!!! Stay warm tonight!!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Glad to see you brought along such a puffy and warm coat! And 6 degrees for a high?!!? Yikes!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
Hope you stay warm!

A warmth tip from Canada – I find that there’s a pretty direct relationship between the temperature of my extremities (ears, fingers & toes) and how chilled I feel. Keep your ears covered, your fingers in mitts (not gloves!! big difference!), and keep your feet warm and dry.
On keeping your feet warm & dry, my tip is this. It might seem like a hassle, but be sure to switch between indoor shoes&socks and outdoor shoes&socks – if you wear big boots and cozy socks indoors, your feet sweat, and then when you go back out the sweat freezes and you’ll have cold wet feet. Keep your feet from sweating indoors and that will keep them warmer when you’re outdoors….hope that makes sense 🙂
Have a great time at sandwich school!!
Jazz says
Also being from the land of -40 (F), Keeping your core warm does help with the extremities, I used to have a crappy coat, but when I got a giant down parka, I found my hands and feet didn’t get as cold!
Amanda (Eating Up) says
Glad you finally made it! Can’t wait to read more updates!
Leila @ Spinach and Skittles says
I thought of you while watching the weather report tonight (our news station also reaches Missoula, so we get their weather too). I hope the temps don’t get too bad for you! Luckily L.L. Bean makes great products, so your cute new coat should keep you warm. If all else fails the Big Sky Brewing Company isn’t too far down the road 😉
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I grew up in MN and went to college there. There were a few January’s growing up that I don’t think it got above 6 all month. Brrr!!!
Stay warm, Kath…and get some much needed sleep 🙂
Lauren @ itsfoodlove says
This day sounds like it’s never ending! Yet you still look so happy. Hope your trip is great!
Lissi says
Good Luck! I love your coat, where is it form if you don’t mind me asking?
Kath says
Lands End – and was on sale for $48! It’s awesome!
Meaghan @ OhReillyWrites says
Your coat looks so warm! I can’t wait to see all the pictures from your trip.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Finally!! I remember one week last winter NYC had a wind chill of 4, but I can’t imagine the actual TEMPERATURE being that low…brrr!! Stay warm!
Heather says
What a day! Enjoy your training it sounds like a fun adventure! Do you mind me asking water coconut water you have used in the past. COuld you use it like a gatorade. I took your advice on the sports drink and it has helped! I just wanted something a bit more natural i think? or maybe it is not the same thing.
Heather
Kath says
I like Vita-Coco the best
Heather says
Do you think gatorade or the coconut water works better?
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I’ve found that there reaches a certain temperature when it doesn’t matter how much colder it gets because it all feels the same after a while. Until it goes under 0 and/or gets windy, and then it’s an entirely different level. Brr…
Have fun and stay warm!!! 😀
Allie says
Sounds like you had a crazy day but you always make the best out of situations like that, you are such a trooper! Glad to read that all of your flights were safe 🙂 stay warm!!
Judy says
Glad you arrived safely. I think 6 above sounds warm. It’s -17 this morning. Our high should be 1 above.
Val @ Balancing Val says
I desperately need a warm jacket like that.
Didnt you get a ridiculous deal on it recently?
Im saving my pennies but that is essential!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Glad you got in allright!
jen @ taste life says
So glad you finally made it!
Mom says
Glad you’re there.
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
Glad you made it. I grew up in the north but moved to the south a year ago. We’re getting snow today and truly cold temps all week, and I’m thinking, “What is this?”
Karen says
Glad you are safe and sound…what a trouper! Hope you slept tight. Let the Montana adventures begin…
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
I’m so glad that you made it there safely! I just got back to the harsh cold of the midwest after experiencing lovely moderate temperatures on the west coast for 3 weeks, so I am FREEZING!
Christine says
There are flies in that cold weather?!
Hahah–JK.
Alaina says
Glad you got there safely!!
I don’t think I’ve ever been in weather that cold. Brrr…but you do look nice and toasty in your jacket 🙂
Jessa says
Glad you made it!
Welcome to the midwest, where it s sunny and cold 🙂
Elizabeth @ The Sweet Life says
Congrats on making it! I admire how good your spirits are after such a long trip–my husband and I would be so grumpy!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Don’t you worry – it is also 20 degrees in the South this morning. 🙂
sarahMTSBB says
Hope you have LOTS! of hot beverages readily available. The wind chill was -2 in Ohio when I took my dog out last night…I can’t wait to become a southern girl!
Ally says
Here in the mountains of Colorado it reached a brisk -27 on New Year’s Eve… and people were still outside to party! Cheers! You really do get used to it, eventually, with proper attire…
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
I love Missoula! I have family there and we go up there every once in a while. It’s gorgeous. I’ve never been in the winter though.
Sarah R says
Impressed your luggage made it with all of the delays! Enjoy the trip–I can’t wait to hear more about your bakery lessons.

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Brr! I think it’s around 20 degrees here too. I don’t like it at all!
Stay warm!
A. says
Gosh , you guys are amazing.
I know you have a busy life…and I hate to ask this…but thought I’d take a risk…so,
A quick question (I admire you very much). I’m gonna start a blog. Not title jumps out…I’ve narrowed it to “A Cozy Place” or ” Life Actually”. Or maybe “stories and tea” or something…those don’t “do ” it for me, but am stuck.
I kind of need a place to be open about dealing with some physical setbacks…but I also want a grateful, positive, thankful place…and a “magical” kind of place ….I like stories, reading, writing, passions like those, tea, etc. Any thoughts on those 3 above? Nay or yay or stronger liking toward one.
Thanks muchly. Luv your blog.
Kath says
I think they all sound good A
