Dude. I've got a tee time today. Two feet of snow possible in the mountains around Bozeman later this week? Blowing and drifting snow? Details here:

A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Wednesday evening
through Saturday morning.

* Timing and main impact: snow is expected develop over southwest
Montana Wednesday night and expand northward through the day on
Thursday and continue through Saturday morning. The snow could
become heavy at times on Thursday and Friday.

* Snow accumulations: one to two feet is possible in the
mountains with 6 to 12 inches on the plains. 3 to 6 inches is
possible in the valleys of southwest Montana.

* Winds: north winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph are
possible across north central Montana. These winds could result
in blowing and drifting snow across north central Montana
Thursday night through Saturday morning.

* Visibility: local visibilities of less than one half mile in
heavy snow and blowing snow could occur.

* Other impacts: mountain passes will quickly become snow covered
and slippery at the onset of the snowfall. Warmer ground
