It gets cold in Havre. The town broke records just a few weeks ago when temperatures plummeted to negative 44 degrees.

“And with the wind chill it got as low as 60 below zero,” Paul Tuss said.

Tuss, also a state lawmaker, is from Havre.

“There was a lot of raised eyebrows and a lot of question marks about whether or not this was going to work,” Paul Tuss said. “But apparently it has worked swimmingly. And some pretty cold temperatures here on the Hi-Line.”
