Bummed Out By Memorial Day Forecast? This Might Help
Most people have summer on their mind when Memorial Day rolls around. They are thinking about barbecuing, camping, and being outside. While most of the country views Memorial Day as the unofficial start to summer, some of us here in Montana know better.
We were bummed out by the forecast and think spring is off to a slow start. But is that really the case?
Pondering this question inspired us to look back at the past decade of Bozeman Memorial Day weather in order to figure out just how upset we should be by the forecast. Turns out Memorial Day 2019 looks as if it will resemble 8 of the last 10, with rain in the forecast.
