Kayla Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 4 hours ago, snow drift said: I could handle Billings, but Bozeman or Butte would be a tall order. Elevation is a killer. I was over there in June 1992 at the Little Bighorn. It was not warm. I wore shorts anyway. I was in Butte in July 1993. We were scraping our windshield. I would honestly consider moving over to Billings though. I like it over there. Billings would be too hot and dry in the summer for me so we're still quite happy where we're at. I'd honestly be fine if it never hit 80 degrees during the summer. But yeah, the early summer and late summer snows can be a bit annoying especially since we're even a bit higher than town at 5,350ft. It's all worth it though cause the summers here are gorgeous when we don't get smoked out by the west coast fires. Our first three summers here were mainly smoke free but the last two were the exact opposite so hopefully we can reverse that trend this summer! 6 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 1989 was spectacular... the complete opposite of this April. SEA had 13 days above 65 degrees and almost hit 80 twice that month. Ended up at +3.0 for temperature and about 50% of normal rainfall. Literally the opposite of 2022. May 1989 flipped to cooler and wetter. But it still averaged 4 degrees warmer than this May. And SEA had 8 days above 70 that month. Way better than this past month. Close to a climo May. June 1989 was pretty amazing for a Nina year in June. Warmer and drier than normal. July and August were both drier than normal as well... but ended up 2-3 degrees cooler than normal. So far... that warm season looks like a dream compared to 2022. 1 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't completely follow the classic Nina template. It had the historic heat at the end of summer 1988, a blowtorch October, a splitty December, so-so January, historically frigid February, a cool/wet March, a torchy April which is most unusual for a Nina, a warm/ridgy June, and finally a very cool midsummer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
