The records kept falling Monday as a stubborn arctic blast refused to retreat north.
The weather station at Glacier Park International Airport on Monday registered a temperature of minus 26 at 6:55 a.m., clipping the previous record low for the date of minus 25 set in 2005. The teeth-chattering low temperature was aided by clear skies overnight.
Whitefish Mountain Resort kept its upper mountain lifts closed Monday due to dangerous wind chills of near minus 40 at the summit of Big Mountain.
