Bozeman,Manhattan,Norris,and Townsend had seen few if any snow flakes yesterday while we were getting dumped on. Our State department didnt even plow the Norris Hill this morning and had some severe wrecks on it.......you usually plow the roads when there is 8" of snow and snow drifts on the road or you close the road but guess they havent figured that out over the last 10years.

Yeah same thing here. I used to plow snow for the state a fews years back and never could figure out why i didn't get the call to go out when it was snowing like crazy outside. I guess its going to be bad until Monday from the sounds of things.

Did you get my message about georgetown?

cutbow_07 · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 12, 2008, 04:43 PM »

20+ inches of snow in harrison and 30+ in Pony last night but it snowed hard up there all night. Ice along lake edge this morning and temps in the low 20's yesterday and today......Gonna have to get a sled so I can make it up to Cataract Reservoir for brookies. Here comes the Season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah got your message about Georgetown. Long ways to drive for Kokes. Ice forming in the bays here at Palisades as well. Heard Lander WY got 30+ inches last night. Can't sleep at night. It needs to get here fast!

My brother works in Sheridan, WY and didnt come home bird hunting cause of the storm. It was supposed to hit between Billings and the border pretty hard but I havent talked to him since friday. Went out wheeling with my friend from pony last night and found snow over the hood and didnt get stuck only due to speed

Dude! That is a crazy lot of snow!....it is only October!

closest I've come is ice on my little garden pond! The Goldfish didn't seem to mind though!

cutbow_07 · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 13, 2008, 01:35 PM »

Yeah It's melting and drifting down here in the valley now

Harrison Lake has got some ice forming around the edges due to the wind chill but it probably wont hold on for long. Temps are supposed to climb this week into the 40's and 50's range but the cold snap cooled down the higher mountain lakes and hopefully the ice will start forming by mid november. Im definitely trying to buy a sled now so I can make it to where the first ice will be. Team MT might be the first ones on the ice this year not counting the canadians or alaskans

You didn't get anything with this last storm?

We got a few inches (5?) in Helena, and a few feet around us in the mountains. I Heard one range close by got close to 5 feet!

It's 80 degrees here in NW Indiana, on the South shore of Lake Michigan!! Your news gets me really fired up!! We usually have ice by the middle of Dec. on a cold year, and unfortunately for me, I'm ready NOW!!!!! C-ya, Crappie Rob.

Nope we didn't even see a flake and the mountains on this side didn't get anything either. Y'all got the system from the south and it never made it this far north, it was just Clear Blue Skies, windy and COLD!!! It was 22 and blowing about 30 on Friday Night!!

looking at the map on the general forum, looks like we lucked out and got nailed in the middle of that storm, that RARELY happens, usually everything misses us to the north or south.

I noticed that also, I also saw that Havre was the hot spot in the state yesterday and almost got to 70....that's just wrong!

cutbow_07 · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 14, 2008, 11:59 AM »

Nobody expected anything over 6" here because the storms go around over right over us and tend to hit bozeman hard while we get nothing but not this time. All my friends in Bozo didnt believe me that there was that much snow out here until I sent them the pics.

I am jealous man! I love the snow! I love Winter!!!

cutbow_07 · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 15, 2008, 09:41 AM »

Yeah I know

I drove around yesterday and saw some ice forming on small areas of standing water. Im planning on gettn that sled but gotta get the funds first

Do you smoke the Kokes you catch or what do you do with yours?

Neptune · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 15, 2008, 04:11 PM »

if they are less than 14-15" ya I smoke'm, they are tasty little buggers!!!

If I ever find some bigger ones again I love Salmon on the BBQ!

Neptune · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 16, 2008, 09:01 AM »

I saw snowflakes today!!!

Come on Old Man Winter!!!

Sounds like it might come down to a race to first ice in MT then!

To the victor go the spoils!!
