Big Timber, Montana<\/h3>
Big Timber takes its name from Big Timber Creek, which was named by William Clark because of the large cottonwood trees.[5] The post office was established in 1880, closed, then reopened in 1882 with Ella Burns as postmaster.[6] As a stop on the Northern Pacific Railroad, Big Timber became a major wool-shipping depot. It became the county seat in 1895.[7] A fire in 1908 destroyed half the commercial buildings and a third of the residential homes.[7]<\/p>
Big Timber has a cool semi-arid climate (K\u00f6ppen BSk) bordering on a humid continental climate (Dfb). Although winters can be frigid, frequent chinook winds will raise temperatures above 50\u00a0\u00b0F or 10\u00a0\u00b0C on an average twenty days between December and February, and have raised them to or above 68\u00a0\u00b0F or 20\u00a0\u00b0C on ten occasions during these months since 1894.[9] The chinooks mean Big Timber's 31.3 days per year failing to top freezing is among the fewest in Montana, with the average window for such maxima being from November 11 to March 18.[9] In the absence of chinooks, temperatures fall to 0\u00a0\u00b0F or \u221217.8\u00a0\u00b0C on seventeen mornings during an average winter, although such temperatures were reached just once in 1999\/2000 but as many as thirty-four times during the very cold winters of 1935\/1936 and 1978\/1979. The average window for zero temperatures is from December 4 to February 25. The coldest temperature in Big Timber has been \u221247\u00a0\u00b0F (\u221243.9\u00a0\u00b0C) during the notorious 1936 cold wave on February 15, whilst February 1936 was also the coldest month on record at 5.0\u00a0\u00b0F or \u221215.0\u00a0\u00b0C, shading January 1916 which averaged 5.5\u00a0\u00b0F or \u221214.7\u00a0\u00b0C.\n<\/p>
Spring is typically windy with temperatures nearly so variable as in winter: the last frost typically arrives on May 19, but temperatures have reached 80\u00a0\u00b0F or 26.7\u00a0\u00b0C as early as March 22 of 1928 and have fallen to zero Fahrenheit as late as April 13, 1928 and April 12, 1997. Late in spring thunderstorms increase in frequency and during late spring and early summer these provide most of Big Timber's annual precipitation. The wettest calendar year since 1894 has been 1957 with 25.71 inches (653.0\u00a0mm) and the driest 1939 with 9.38 inches (238.3\u00a0mm), whilst the wettest single month has been May 1981 with 7.69 inches (195.3\u00a0mm)\n<\/p><\/div>\n
