This is why it’s so big. Nobody wants to get too close!
What about global warming?
I remember in like ‘93-94, don’t really remember exactly because I was about 9 years old, that one June we got a BADASS blizzard in hat lasted most of the day up in Kalispell. In the middle of June.
Couldn’t see past the tip of your nose
Wow, 24 inches feet? That’s what, like a fathom?
I was in Mtn. Home ID in 1980 and it was snowing in the mountains on the Fourth of July.
Cause is of course global warming....
You know the name? I didn’t see the name at that link or on a broader news search.
They always name these things anymore.

The summer solstice is at 8:42 p.m. MDT tonight.
>>>”Hazardous travel conditions, especially on Going-to-the-Sun Road, Looking Glass Road, and U.S. Highway 89 over the Hudson Bay Divide,” the NWS said.<<<
Not good for all the summer visitors to Glacier National Park. The Going to the Sun Road will be closed for sure.
Coldest June I ever had was a snowstorm in Montana.
You can get snow of the 4th of July in many parts of the Rockies.
fathom - 6 feet
Rod - 16.5 feet
furlong - 220 yds/660 feet/40 rods (1/8 mile)
chain - 66 feet (1/10 of a furlong)
Nautical mile - one minute of latitude (6076.115 feet)
fortnight - 14 days
If only you understood science, you’d know that unseasonably cold temperatures are a result of global warming.
No no no. Global cooling.
So Al Gore is in Montana giving a speech about global warming?
I really did play a TV weatherman in the early 90s. IMHO, we are in a current state of flux. This snow storm and the tropics are absent of activity. This will change in the next week or so.
im in Michigan...starting tomorrow, a 4 day EXTREME HEAT WARNING. 4 days!!, kinda rare for this neck of the woods.
There's also a heat wave in the Midwest, so it all evens out. The Earth, it turns out, is very good at regulating its climate.
The left will blame the storm on climate change and capitalism. Just watch.
It’s barely supposed to hit a high of 60 on Sunday where I am in Wyoming, and I’m in one of the more mild locations. I am guessing the Beartooth Highway will be challenging route from the sounds of this.
I’m taking a break from yard work in south Alabama. My weather station says it’s 93 and humidity 68. That’s a heat index around 112. Anybody in Montana feel like having a house guest for a few days?
