About This Station

The station is powered by a Davis Vantage PRO2 Wireless weather station with rain collector heater. The data is collected every 2.5 seconds and the site is updated every 5 minutes. The main page is updated using AJAX, which updates without refreshing the page. This site and its data is collected using Weather Display Software. The station is comprised of an anemometer, a rain gauge and a thermo-hydro sensor situated in optimal positions for highest accuracy possible. I use GRLevel3 software for my radar images.

About This City

Glendive, Montana is located in the southeastern portion of the state between the badlands and the Yellowstone River. It is in Dawson County with the estimated population of 4700 poeple. It is 47.105N latitude and -104.711W longitude at a elevation of 2064 feet. Glendive is the "Paddlefish and Caviar Capital of the World". From what I know the city was built around the railroad which is located just about in the middle of the city. The roundhouse is ran by BNSF railway today.

Makoshika State Park is replete with prehistoric fossils, mineral specimens and dinosaur bones and is one of the most spectacular geologically spectacular badlands in the entire region. Glendive is the smallest of the 210 designated markets for broadcast television in the United States (as designated by Nielsen), with one station (KXGN channel 5) carrying partial CBS and NBC feeds along with state and local news broadcasts for a small potential audience of several thousand people (county population is 9,059).

The Lewis & Clark Expedition camped here by the Yellowstone River in 1806 on their last night in Montana. General Custer also camped here just before the "Little Big Horn" event. The Yellowstone River, the nation's longest untamed river starts in Yellowstone Park and flows through the middle of Glendive. It's a source of recreation, agate hunting, fishing and awe. The top 6 ancestry groups in the city are German - 35%, Norwegian - 16%, Irish - 10%, English - 8%, French (except Basque) - 3%, Polish - 3%.
