Montana Snow Pack and Precipitation

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 [...]

Weather games, predicting big snow dumps

by Wayne Mumford January 17, 2012

Snowmageddon. For the last week NOAA and the press have been pounding the epic storm drum here in western Montana. We are on the edge of said storm this evening. Now we get to see what mother nature, La Nina and NOAA have in common. Just for giggles I’ll put up the last snow pack [...]

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 [...]

MT FWP also report a 13.95 pound and 32.5 inches long Walleye from the Cascade section. Sounds like eradicating Wally and eating well go hand in hand on the Mo’. And [...]

by Wayne Mumford November 26, 2011

No, I’m not already obsessing over next years water already. Just curious. There’s probably enough water left over from last year in places that even a decent snow pack would still be ok.

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. I think most of us who spend anytime outdoors felt the season really roll over a couple weeks back; time to finalize the winter preparations, leave fall behind [...]

Fly Fishing Daydreams, Brian Chan, LaFontaine’s Sparkle Emerger Video

by Wayne Mumford November 14, 2011

I’m still grousing around here trying to feel better. Not an easy task when the leaves have all pretty much hit the ground, the snow flakes are flying and anything warmer than 40°f is probably now months away. I’m clinging to the last strands of warmth like a man drowning in a sea of ice! [...]
