Snow Pack Check

by Wayne Mumford May 24, 2010

Being once again stuck between yard work and the ever changing weather and basically an afternoon to get some play time in we decided on a quick snowshoe trip into Jewel Basin on the east side of Flathead Valley.
Being optimists we were hoping to drive all the way in and then try to get a [...]

Montana snow pack, May 3 2010

by Wayne Mumford May 3, 2010

The last couple weeks has sent us a pretty steady stream of precipitation and cooler weather including a nice storm this past week that put nearly two feet of snow in some high country areas including the Flathead.

April 21, 2010 Montana snow pack report

by Wayne Mumford April 21, 2010

Heat wave. Monday through today’s high- 80°F! Seeing the snow recede is like watching an sno-cone melting.  Problem is, there is not much to melt in these parts. It is suppose to cool back down into the 50’s toward Thursday so that should slow things down a bit.

Cowering from the Sun

by Wayne Mumford February 25, 2010

We have had a run of “good” weather, we got to see the sun for a couple days without arctic temperatures and we seem to be moving into the early spring mode of a weather change every five minutes or so and temperatures creeping into the mid 40’s and even low 50’s. It has been [...]
