The snowpack in Montana will be getting another welcome blast of fresh snow through this weekend, with well over a foot expected in many southern mountain locations.

It's been a windy few days on and around Fort Peck Lake, and the Wind Advisory has been extended through Friday. Winds on the lake are not expected to be quite as strong as they were Thursday, but still strong enough to make small craft boating dangerous.

It's another windy day around Fort Peck Lake, and it's creating dangerous conditions for small water craft. Gusts up to 45 mph will whip through the area until Thursday evening.

Moving to Montana is a big deal.

Montana has it's own set of unique living requirements.

It's true. Have you ever wanted your own personal warm spring that feeds into a couple of ponds for soaking? That very piece of Montana real estate is for sale and we've never seen anything quite this unique, and it's on nearly 200 acres.

Disc golf has come a very long way in Montana over the last couple of decades. There are disc golf courses all over the state along with events and tournaments in just about every town. You can even (legit) play disc golf in some Montana State Parks.

It's been a couple of VERY windy days on Fort Peck Lake and the surrounding area. A Lake Wind Advisory continues all day Wednesday, with wind gusts of up to 40 mph - too dangerous for small craft boating on the lake.

Dangerous wind gusts up to 80 mph are going to howl through parts of northern Montana, with the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain Front getting the brunt of these powerful winds.
