Rare June winter storm to hit with 12 inches of snow
Story by Martha McHardy • 3h

A rare June winter storm is forecast to hit parts of northern Montana this weekend, with the National Weather Service (NWS) warning of up to a foot of heavy, wet snow in higher elevations of Glacier National Park.

The storm could bring hazardous travel, power outages, and treacherous trail conditions during a time of year typically dominated by warmer weather and early summer tourism.
 
The storm, which is set to begin Saturday afternoon and last through Sunday morning, is expected to produce significant snowfall above 6,000 feet and as much as 4 inches in valley areas.

Areas set to be affected include Logan Pass, Marias Pass and the backcountry of the Flathead National Forest, according to the NWS Great Falls and Missoula offices.

Winds gusting up to 40 mph are expected to accompany the snow, raising the risk of downed trees and power lines.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Hope not... this late in the season, what a foot of snow does in the forest is a cataclysm. It's really crazy to be out in something like that, with trees exploding from the weight all around you... But the aftermath...  **nononono*

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
