Looks like some high pressure is going to finally move into the area Tuesday evening after roughly 3 weeks of below average temps & a mix of rain/snow. Temps are forecasted to be 67* - 77* Wednesday thru Sunday. Of course I go back to work Friday :(, so I'll only get to enjoy a couple days of it. I'm thinking tomorrow morning I'll go get the summer wheels/tires slapped on the truck & then go get the 5th-Wheel ready for the summer.

It sure is nice to see the snowpack holding well in the mountains, but I'm definitely ready to get out & do some camping.....Play safe everyone !!

Forecasted 51* yesterday.....Topped out @ 56*
Forecasted 55* today.....30% chance of rain.....Wind Advisory that starts @ 5:00pm.....Just great !!  >:(
Guess I'll just gorge myself with turkey today & not worry about hitting the hardwater or going snowmobiling.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving & stay safe !!

Wacky weather early this morning.
Midnight - 40* with a slight warmish breeze out of the south.
1am - 36* with a light rain.
2am - 34 * with shall we say a whiteout of more or less slush.
2:30am - 31* with clear skies, but the wind starting to pick up.
3:00am - 31* with light wet snow & hurricane force winds out of the west.

SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES !!

heard Anaconda might not be seen again until June-ish....

2/25/19 @ 10:00pm - Report I heard was 27" over the past 48 hours.....
I just got home about 2:35am.....I would say 30"+ & still snowing.....
Before I left for work yesterday afternoon I saw a couple ATV's with plows stuck, a Polaris Razor w/plow stuck & numerous cars & trucks stuck on the streets.....
I almost got stuck pulling up to the house when I got home this morning & the door was pushing snow when I opened it to get out.....
I heard school has been cancelled & people are urged to travel only when necessary.....Hmmmmm.. ...

Here's a pic of the Winter Wonderland.....There's a car under there somewhere !! LOL

We got about 12" here at my place in Sanders county last night and it is still lightly snowing. I'm ready for winter to be done, all this snow is getting obnoxious.

Pulling my flip was enough of a workout last weekend. 💪

Had a wonderful conversation with a city employee saying I need to keep bicycle lane cleared of snow that I’m pushing off sidewalks. Asked where to put it? On private property was his explanation.
So snow that is in street they plow onto sidewalks then land owners must dispose of there snow on private property?????

I'm sure glad that I have snowmobiles. It makes pulling pulling about 200 pounds of gear out on the snow covered ice real easy.

I feel for you guys.  While we've been hit with the frigid temperatures, Eureka has been spared most of the snow ya'll are being hammered with.  I'd say we only have between 1.5-2 feet on the ground here in the valley...definitely more up in the hills.  Might be worth heading this way if the slush becomes intolerable!  Only complaint I have is the below-average (in my experience) kokanee bite on my area lakes.  Seems the fish are as upset as we are  >:(

We need it

Irrigators will certainly benefit from reservoirs at full-pool.  I recall reading an article on Fort Peck and how the fishery boomed after 2011's runoff filled the reservoir higher than it'd been for a while; more flooded vegetation (if I read it right) sent the food chain into overdrive.  Seeing as how the MO's three forks have above average snowpack in their drainages, reckon we'll see that again?

Peck really gets a nutrient boost when it fills after a few years of low water. The last couple of years at full pool won’t hurt but we won’t get the full “new reservoir” effect. That said lots of nutrients are added with the run off. Last year we had mud as far down as Devils Creek.
