Montana snow pack and weather- April, 24,2009

by Wayne Mumford April 24, 2009

What’s the weather like? It’s about every kind of weather combination found in the northern hemisphere short of tornado’s and hurricanes. It’s about going from 70° and sunshine to a blizzard in minutes and dressing from shorts up to winter storm shells and everything in between. It’s spring time in Montana. River flows are going [...]
