Blizzard

A storm that rolled through northwest Montana brought enough snow and strong winds to cut power to thousands of people Monday morning.

Missoula got more snow than Bozeman in our last blizzard this past week. This is a very thoughtful and clear time lapse of how and when they got snow.

Overnight, on the last day of the month, Missoula received a substantial amount of snow and is extremely close to breaking the all-time February record.

Extremely high winds tonight will create blizzard conditions in the Livingston, Montana area. Details here:

With November upon us and 'real' winter right around the corner, let's take a minute to remember just how bad it can get in Montana. This particular (quick!) video was taken in Plentywood, MT in 2011.

The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for the Livingston and Big Timber areas in effect from 11:00am this morning through 5:00am tomorrow morning. Winds 35-55 mph, gusting to 65 mph will cause zero visibility at times with whiteout conditions possible.

A storm that canceled over 2000 flights on the East coast deserves a photo gallery. Enjoy!
