Snowless So Far

Friday, December 16, 2011

Amy at Backyard Bounty is enjoying our very mild and nearly snow-less December: I’m almost afraid of saying it out loud, but I LOVE having no snow on the ground…I’m thoroughly enjoying the mild conditions and lack of snow (it’s staying in the mountains, which is where we need it).

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

About an inch of snow when I woke up at 4:40 this morning…and about 4 inches by 7:30 when I left for work…and it’s coming down even harder and more sideways now (10:47 am).

Wintry Update!

Sunday, December 19, 2010

It’s been snowing – lightly, for the most part – for more than 48 hours now – and we’ve got more on the way! Truly a Winter Wonderland, and it makes listening to the Christmas music so much more festive! Here’s the latest: The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of north and central Montana for heavy snow and blowing snow, which is in effect from 11 pm on Sunday until...
