Montana, Wyoming Brace for Snow, Cold Temps While Much of the U.S. Sizzles

By Linda Lam
Published: August 24, 2014

While much of the U.S. will swelter in heat and humidity this weekend, it will feel more like fall, or even winter, for much of Montana and Wyoming.

An unseasonably cold low pressure system is expected to bring below-average temperatures to the northern Rockies through early week. Temperatures will be up to 35 degrees below average in some locations this weekend.

In fact, low temperatures will drop below freezing in the higher elevations, leading to the chance for the first snow of the season to fall. In West Glacier, Montana, the average date for the first temperature below 32 degrees is Sept. 13, so the cold conditions are about three weeks ahead of schedule.

There is abundant moisture with this system that will bring rain to the region with snow possible in the higher elevations. There will be gusty winds as well. The cold rain will be heavy at times and enhanced by deepening upslope flow on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains.

Snow accumulations will generally be a few inches or less, and the snow is expected to melt quickly. Up to 8 inches of snow is possible on the highest peaks through Sunday.

But . . . but . . . but Algore said that Glowbull WarmingTM was going to kill us all!!!!!11!11![/DUmmie]

Odd, the New England East Coast has had only a very few days above 80, nights at the low 60's.     I do not know about inland but this is the first year I have not heard the Heat Bugs singing.

So we adapt to changing things as a survival method, adapt or die.  Come winter and we are closed in with ice storms and power outages,  we in the past have had some so severe the State Police begged people to go for shelter but many refused as they could not take their Pets.

Idiots from out of state believe that if they have a fireplace in their home they were all set, little do they know the fireplace just sucks out the heat from the house., or they do something stupid like burning charcoal for heat and end up dead.

We never know what challenges Mother Nature will throw at us, -----Prepare for what ever happens, this is human survival.
