"You want to know just how cold Montana is?" she asked in the viral TikTok video. She said, "Um, this is my headboard." She further added the frost crept in just behind her "back pillows" on her bed. "Holy s**t," she added as she moved the pillows away to show the thick layer of ice. The frosty video comes after the US braces for its coldest winter storm this year, with Montana currently under a wind chill warning that has dropped as low as minus 60 degrees, as per New York Post.
In a follow-up video, Sarah Belle added she resides in a trailer that has propane heat along with at least three additional heaters inside. She said, that it's "plenty warm in here" despite the reach of snow indoors. However, users soon who watched Sarah Belle's frosty video, said the thick layer of snow under her headboard was caused due to insulation problems and not because of the cold weather. One user commented, "Its an insulation problem, not a weather issue." Another chimed, "Need better insulation." "Cold side of the pillow life hack," one user joked.
Temperatures are continuing to drop in the state as the week progresses, with thousands facing power outages and high winds across the nation. "We're expecting the possibility for cold on historic proportions this Thursday — temperatures quite possibly colder than anything we've seen in 40 years," C Corby Dickerson IV, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Missoula, said, according to Business Insider India.
