The higher elevations of Montana could see well over a foot of fresh snow by Friday. Most counties have a storm warning or watch in effect, and the valleys are expected to get 5" to 10" inches as well. Travel may become a serious issues during this storm.
All I can say is, if COSTCO was nearly completely out of these things, I'm assuming you might have trouble finding one of these after that freakish cold snap we just got hit with.
Portions of Montana's are getting pummeled with nasty winds Tuesday. A High Wind Warning is currently in effect for some counties and High Wind Watches are in effect for others. Some areas to the west are also dealing with dangerous avalanche conditions.
The storms and atmospheric rivers that have been invading the entire northwest of the country, isn't skipping Montana mountain ranges. Avalanche danger has risen significantly and may continue to rise this week for several counties and their Montana mountain ranges.
How nice is it to finally feel like we are getting to enjoy some Fall weather here in Montana? Check out this photo from NWS Billings. Plus, if you're hunting in SW Montana...get ready for winter.
