I did it last September! Walked right up to the summit in trail runners, didn't even touch snow. I'm guessing it was more of an adventure this time of year!
Expect widespread wet conditions with very cool conditions, winds
will turn northeasterly. Heavy, wet accumulating snow is expected
above 5000 feet, throughout southern Idaho County and most of
western Montana. In western Montana, above 6000 feet a trace to 14
inches is possible, while in the Bitterroot, Anaconda, and Pintler
Mountains, Bob Marshal Wilderness, and Glacier National Park
Region the highest terrain has a 25% chance of receiving 14 to 20
inches of snow. This amount snow accumulating on trees with
foliage could cause branches to go down on back country roads, be
prepared. Due to the high impact potential above 6000 feet and
moderate confidence of the event actually happening, winter storm
watches have been issued along Continental Divide from the
Canadian border through MacDonald Pass on I-90, including
Georgetown Lake and the Anaconda and Pintler Mountains. The main
snow event will be overnight Monday through Tuesday.
Similar events to this one, in June 2008 and 2001, produced a
small area of valley snow down to 2800 feet. There is insufficient
confidence in either low pressure track or intensity currently,
but you are encouraged to follow future forecasts as 1 to 2
inches of heavy, wet snow on trees with leaves could easily cause
broken branches leading to localized power outages with winter
driving conditions in area mountain passes.
MSO referenced June 2001. Bozeman got 18” from that storm. I moved there a few years afterward but heard stories.
smh. Honestly, his look/behavior (not always, but too often) is one of somebody with dementia or a closely related condition. I'm sure most of us have seen stuff like this in our own families.
