“That was known as “the long winter”.
It’s every winter! 9 months a year.

It’s every winter! 9 months a year.
Montana above 6000 ft elevation, you'd better be ready for HARD winter conditions all year round. (Same rule about the elevation applies all the way down the Rockies)
The Homestead right now (elev 4500) is -15 F, nice bright sun and about 2 1/2 feet of snow ---- where it hasn't drifted.
Usually start to see the melt begin about now but at the current rate we'll be lucky to see dirt before April.
....and we're counted as Banana Belt compared to the rest of Montana.
