Kayla Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looking like 12-20" of snowfall here over the next 36 hours. This is a pretty warm storm so kind of tough to nail down snow totals since there might not be a lot of daytime accumulations but we'll see. Either way, our plow and snowblower is going to be very busy the next few days to keep our driveway accessible. More snow to come on Saturday then possibly some Arctic air beginning early next week along with more snow.

Plus the WSW a week ago. DEN is running a -4.3 for February, and it would be much colder except for the two very warm days to start the month. As it is, looks to remain below normal for this whole week - will probably end up being one of the coldest first half of Februaries in awhile. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

TT-SEA Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 So glad Tim brought the "its been wet" bullshit to this thread. Nice. It was in reference to another snowfall record in a snowy place like Bozeman... and those records happening more frequently lately. Similarities to the Cascade foothills and Olympics in WA with rain. And maybe related to the same climate regime change actually. It is interesting even if its not happening in Oregon. The big rain/flooding event here this month was from February 5-7... and Bozeman had their big snow event from February 6-8.
