Ski resorts in parts of Montana and Wyoming fired up their webcams to capture images of something they don't usually see on their slopes: snow falling in late July.
"An abnormally powerful low-pressure system is winding up near the Montana-Saskatchewan border – something more typical of the cold-weather season than mid-July," said weather.com senior meteorologist Nick Wiltgen. "As a result, it's yanking some pretty cold air southward quickly enough to bring subfreezing temperatures into the Northern Rockies at elevations above 10,000 feet or so. Throw in some moisture and boom, snow."
The system dumped several inches of wintry precipitation on the higher elevations of the Northern Rockies, but also brought much-needed rain in a parched region. For some residents, it was the first time they'd seen July snow in southern Montana.
“I’ve been [in southern Montana] for four summers, and this is the first time I’ve seen it snow in July,” Tom Conway, assistant golf pro at Big Sky Resort, told the Great Falls Tribune. “It was a pretty crazy day.”

The ski resort at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, reported more than an inch of snow as well on Monday

I remember the definition of the start of an Ice Age as when the snow from the last winter doesn’t melt over the next summer.
Indeed. I remember that too.

“I’ve been her for four summers,” Conway added, “and this is the first time I’ve seen it snow in July. It was a pretty crazy day.”
Hahaha, what an expert.
It was pretty cool ...but the snow was mostly above the 8500 foot level. It was more hail and rain down at the golf course (6600 feet). It snows in June and late-August here...but I'm having a hard time remembering snow up at the mountain in July.
