Spring in Montana

If there's one thing you can count on here, it's that you can never put away the snowbrush. It should always be left in the car. When we went to bed last night, it was raining a little. When we got up, there was about two inches of snow on the lawn (but the streets were clear). We had about four or five inches at the studio at the peak of the snowfall. By noon, there were green patches already starting to show in the lawn as it was melting.

I took this picture at 8:00pm. Good example of what it's like out there right now. This is from our second-floor bedroom window, facing east. The grass is green and clear of snow, but the Bridgers are still full of the stuff. At the far right, where there's a big clear spot in the trees is where the "M" is on the mountain. Click here to see what the "M" looks like without snow.

It's snowed in Bozeman during every month of the year. A few years ago, they had so much snow in the middle of June that Bridger Bowl opened for a day of skiing and Big Sky was open for a couple days of skiing.
