Montana snow pack, Tuesday, May, 27th
It is still snowing in places. The northern Rocky Mountain Front, as in Blackfeet Reservation got its normal late spring dump this weekend. Snow levels were around 5500 ft over the weekend in the west and it was definitely precipitating. While the weather has been a little more like “back in the old days” this year, when the sun comes out it gets hot and dry quick.
