Snow, ice and wind have been a disaster for Montana road conditions since Tuesday morning. The entire state has been affected by harsh driving conditions and the first responders have been VERY busy.
The I-90 corridor east of Bozeman, including the Bozeman Pass, Livingston, Big Timber, and the Beartooth Foothills will see wind gusts up to 60 MPH through at least Friday morning.
Well that escalated quickly. Nobody ever said Montana weather was boring. Some mountains in southwest Montana may get hammered this weekend with 10 to 20 inches of snow piling up by Sunday afternoon.
The only concern is cloudy skies but the Orionid meteor shower is SUPPOSED to be a good one this year, and it's got a fantastic story about what causes it.
It's actually rare to get a Montana autumn that lasts longer than a week or two. It's a shame fall isn't longer around here because we get some amazing colors that take zero effort to find.
The coolest thing that happens at Bridger Bowl all year doesn't happen on the slopes - it happens in the air above the Ridge. Raptors of all kinds make their fall migration right over our head and it is NOT to be missed.
