Winter Storm: Round 3
This storm was originally advertised for Thursday through Saturday. On Wednesday, I took a quick run into Bigfork for just a few things. Everyone else was doing the same AND it was snowing hard then with what was forecast to be a “trace”, already almost 4 inches.
Then it cleared. And the storm warning moved to Friday through Saturday.
Thursday was snowy but my house was in a wind shadow from the NNE wind. Overnight it warmed up, rained and then dramatically got cold.
NOAA says: “An atmospheric river is colliding with an arctic air mass over western Montana today and tonight. The strong westerly flow associated with the atmospheric river is pushing against the arctic air and stalling the front.”
Bottom line: a LOT more snow (10-20 inches more) is forecast before things calm down on Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon.
Even though Bear can’t run through the deep snow like he used to, he’s got his snow legs now and is using the paths I tromp down.
And he enjoys just lying in the snow and eating it ??? Auggie is more of an inside guy this winter, but he runs out for a quick explore and then right back inside.

That’s a lot of snow! Bear seems to be enjoying it while Auggie is luxuriating in the warmth. It’s -1C here and foggy!
Happy New Year to you and the boys. May 2018 bring you happiness and joy!
Thank you and best wishes for a happy, healthy and joyful 2018 to you and your family, Margaret!
