This weekend, the northern plains of Montana and the Dakotas faced a wild showdown with Mother Nature – think hurricane-force winds and hail the size of softballs.
Montana may be full of smoke and you may feel like you are living on the surface of the sun right now. But, soon you will be waist-deep in the snow with your nose hairs sticking together every time you take a breath. Winter is coming and we can only hope it is not going to be a brutal one.
There was so much flooding in Billings, Montana over the weekend that people were fishing on Shiloh Road. The National Weather Service (NWS) says Billings is already up to at least 4 inches of rain for the month of June, even though we are only 4 days in.
We're still weeks away from any of the Going-to-the-Sun Road being opened for public access. But Glacier National Park plow crews are making good progress this year, reaching an important landmark on the westside this week.
