Montana snow pack- January 28, 2012 | Sunspot Activity

by Wayne Mumford January 28, 2012

The last Montana snow pack report was right before the big dump about 10 days ago. The storm gave us about 3 days of pretty good snow although it was pretty localized with central western Montana getting the heaviest snowfalls. Some areas got snubbed almost entirely, the Beaverhead, Bighole, Gallatin, Madison, Jefferson, and Ruby missed [...]

Montana Snow Pack Report- January 8, 2012

by Wayne Mumford January 8, 2012

The bar graphs at NRCS are down right now so I used the basin maps for this post. I think we had more snow in November in Montana than we do now. Where is La Nina and the negative northern oscillation and all that weather jazz that was supposed to bring us another pile of [...]

Snow hits the valley floor | Tying the Rainbow Warrior

by Wayne Mumford November 17, 2011

You know when it’s coming, must be part of that sixth sense that humans have all but lost and the wild animals rely on when somethings up.

More on Montana snow pack, flooding | Host move winding down | Lake fishing

by Wayne Mumford May 29, 2011

I’m cynically optimistic that the host move for WillFishForWork is complete and the minesweepers have done their jobs. It was one of several that I moved and taking all into consideration, it could have been worse. The state of Montana’s rivers, snow pack, weather, runoff conditions is getting a lot of press, coffee table talk [...]

Montana Snow Pack- May 17, 2011

by Wayne Mumford May 17, 2011

The talk of the town right now is of course snow pack, runoff, blow outs, muddy water, flooding and the coming weather. The speculation, prediction and general BS starts reminding one of a soap opera. We know their is a decent snow pack this year, which means there will be water in the rivers and [...]

Montana Snow Pack- March 20, 2011

by Wayne Mumford March 21, 2011

It’s snowing here in NW Montana this morning, not the nice fluffy powder stuff we’ve seen all winter but the wet messy stuff that will just add a little less consistency to the growing mud bogs. It’s spring, whether it looks like it or not. The main stem of the Flathead is pumping up, has [...]
