The spring storm that has brought snow and heavy wind to the entire state of Montana this week has turned out to be an absolute mess for travelers on the roads.
As much as a pain traveling may become, Montana getting hammered with mountain snow for the next few days is a really great thing. The old cliché about "we need the moisture" is getting more true and less casual by the day.
Southwest Montana is under a High Wind warning until Tuesday afternoon with winds of 60 to 70 mph possible at times, accompanied by snow. Dangerous driving conditions will occur.
Snowpack levels are certainly not at ideal levels throughout southwest Montana at the end of March. A month that often sees big, wet dumps of snow just didn't materialize in 2022.
Just another day in paradise for the Livingston area and the Beartooth foothills. There's a Wind Advisory in effect until Tuesday evening for very gusty winds of up to 65 MPH.
Perhaps our last dose of REALLY COLD wind chill factors? We can't be certain around here but western Montana is in for a dangerously cold spell overnight Wednesday through Thursday morning.
Another round of very cold temps, snow and gusty wind is invading Montana through Wednesday morning. The valleys are only supposed to get a few inches of snow out of the deal, but travel may still become sketchy during this advisory.
Almost every single county on Montana's southern border is expecting colder temps and just enough snow to make road conditions sketchy until Saturday afternoon.
Several counties in Montana are under a High Wind Warning with gusts of 80 mph expected until Tuesday afternoon. This will create dangerous travel conditions.
Feeling exhausted and down in the dumps from Montana's crazy cold, windy weather? Winter can be downright unpleasant around here sometimes. Sure, playing in the outdoors is a huge driver of why we live here but during those periods of weather when the fun stops? It can be a downer.
