78° on Nov. 12, 1999, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1880. Next is 74° in 1990.
Kremlin’s center stands about 2,850 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,700 ft to 2,940 ft, a difference of 240 ft: rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Judith River Formation (sandstone, shale), from the Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 42×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.

Kremlin has a cold semi-arid climate. Summer afternoons average 86° in July; winter nights fall to about 7° in January. A normal year brings about 41 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 12 inches of water.
