Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Montana Storm Report

Rained here all night, no snow. The neighbor started chopping corn yesterday, quit after a few truckloads. Doubt he'll get at it for a few days, now.

Lots of rain here.


Probably about 6 inches of snow this morning.

Been settling though.

Sorry to hear about the crops.... Good luck.



27 and white with snow all day expected at home.

We got a skiff of snow in the flathead, just a sprinkle of rain. big meh in the banana belt. There were some decent winds around flathead lake, knocked some trees down and power was out for some folks. Looks like East Glacier got 3'-4' of snow.

So far, we’ve received the highest amount of annual precipitation in the 20+ years living here. We just went over 11” and we’ve got 3 months to go. We’re loving it, I wish it would be like this every year. I wouldn’t mind Palmetto replacing some of this Greasewood!

So far, west of the divide, it seems to have been the typical "sky is falling" scenario. We have gotten a few drops of rain. When the veil lifted and we could see the mountains, I half-expected them to be all white. Instead, there appears to be just a few inches. It is still snowing up there this morning so there may be a significant accumulation before it's done. We have had two days of very strong winds. Too windy to get out and hunt
These severe storm warnings are usually so exaggerated that it has become a classic example of the little boy crying wolf. Forecast accumulations of snow are virtually always exaggerated to the point that people seldom believe the warnings. Sometimes, they get bit.
A few years back, we started out on a trip to North Carolina. We had to detour through Pincher Creek so the plan was to head straight down to Browning. The winter storm warning was, to me, just as meaningless as the last dozen had been so I didn't see any problem. At the Border crossing, the Border Patrol guy told us there was a severe storm warning and it might be prudent to detour east. In my mind, I thought, "I might do that if I was a candy as" and headed straight down, as planned. Well crap! It wasn't long before we were pushing snow with the car. I stopped once to take a leak and wasn't sure we would get going again. We didn't see another vehicle for fifty miles. In fact, the only living thing we saw was a wolf which, I pointed out to my wife, was just looking to pick off stragglers. This was one time the forecast was not exaggerated. Usually, it is though so I'm generally not real concerned. We have travelled across the US and Canada, in the winter time, many times and there is usually some bad weather somewhere along the way.

I am keeping myself busy with odd jobs around the house.


One complaint though......why dont they make thimbles in xxl size? My thumb is bleeding all over my sewing.


Two.....extra buttons sewn on a shirt should be sewn on the opposite side of where the buttons for buttoning are.


That way you dont get confused and cut off a real button thinking it was a spare.


You have to sew three on instead of just two at that point...

Doesn't look like a fun end to September in E Glacier. Glad I'm not there.

To anyone who might have relatives or friends out in the woods up there, I sure hope they all get out OK.

NWS nailed the forecast in regards to snow here last night. Called for little to no accumulation. I've got between one inch and two on the cooler areas of the property, anything that absorbed what little heat there was yesterday is clear already. Temp was only down to 33 under the eaves where the sending unit is. Maybe a little cooler at ground level.



Hope y'all farmers end up on the good end of things.

Doing your own sewing? Rosey Greer would be proud of you.

I wonder if he had man sized thimbles?

Geno

Same here.


First task of the day.....
(about 3 hours ago)

Wife asked if I would cut her hair. WTF?

Okay baby, just don't get mad if I fuuck up!

Mans gotta do what a mans gotta do Geno!



Great idea on the magic marker Sam. Your wife sure trusts you!

It took some digging, but I understand the reference now!

I bet no one gave him schit for liking sewing!

They do.
They just call them "beer cans".

Is your wife drunk ??????????


My wife would never trust me to do that, for pretty good reasons

Potted meat is the correct birth control product to counter-act all the booze.

W/Momma starting and in sole-control of the furnace, it'll be 80 and steamy in the house when you get home too!

That damned propane ain't free! If'n it wasn't for the plumbing, I might not have explained that the furnace is the thing with one switch and the breaker box is the thing with lots of switches....

Not to be a nit-picker but I believe Rosey Grier's passion was needlepoint.

Lots of issues around our house....that ain’t one of them. The dear wife sets the thermostat @ 65.....and that’s the warm part of the house. 🥶 memtb
