They are now talking about keeping us here in the park this winter. It sure does get pretty cold here. It gets all of 50 below zero and the snow get ten or twelve feet deep.

While temperature is going to vary wildly in the park, the averages in the cold months are going to be highs in the 20's and lows in the teens. Elevation is going to have a strong effect on that though and there is a lot of elevation change in the area.
You can see below how deep the snow gets. These are from the late spring when the roads are being cleared. Glacier National Park must have some of the world's foremost snow removers.
On a side note, after five years of construction, the Hoover Dam goes in to operation today.
