60 MPH wind gusts will be plaguing the Livingston area and the I-90 corridor through Wednesday evening. Travel may be dangerous at times so extra caution and slower speeds are a must.

Fall. Winter. Fall. Winter. 'Tis the dance Montana generally does through the month of October. High elevations in southwest Montana could see up to 10 inches of fresh snow by Tuesday morning...so I guess that means we're back to winter!

If you're planning to fish or just do some late-season recreating this weekend on Fort Peck Lake, know that it's going to be super windy and choppy. A Lake Wind Advisory has been issued through at least Saturday morning.

The weather is going to be pretty messy in and around Yellowstone National Park on Monday. Several inches of snow is expected to fall, with up to 6" in the highest elevations surrounding the Park. Driving conditions could deteriorate quickly if you're in the area.

We might have quite a mess on our hands...a Winter Storm Warning (that's the big deal one), is in effect for Gallatin and Madison Counties until Noon on Tuesday. Several inches of snow is expected in the valleys with up to 18" of snow to accumulate in the mountains.

Fall in Montana. Great weather, terrible weather. GREAT EVENTS! From a drag show in Bozeman to a brew fest at Pine Creek, you've got a wide selection of fun stuff to do this week, including some free options!

My street is losing the trash battle with the bears. But after (several beers) and several weeks of careful "trash-can-cat-and-mouse", we've come up with a potentially effective deterrent idea: Glitter bomb the trash cans and scare the hell out of the bears.

Montana has some good ones, but a surprisingly LOW number of National Historic Landmarks compared to most other states. With all of our Lewis and Clark type history, you'd think Montana would absolutely dominate the West at least. But we don't even win that category.

Free entrance days to our National Parks are awesome. They're even better when the place is not a zoo, with bumper-to-bumper traffic. November is that time so plan now for the last fee-free day of 2021.

Carnivals, Oktoberfest, chili feeds, raptors and runs. Lots of family-friends options of fun things to do in the Bozeman area this first weekend of October.

Fall doesn't always last very long around here but whatever time Montana gets, it's usually stunning and packed with colors rarely seen in nature. The Bozeman area wasted no time...when the calendar said "Fall", the area responded.

Montana wilderness has bears. Montana TOWNS have bears right now too. There are a few very simple but absolutely crucial things you must do NOW to ensure black bears don't cause any trouble in your 'hood.
