Yes, it is unusual that Bozeman is having this kind of freezy weather in October. It's below zero, right now; and, the high temperature today might get into the teens. Stay inside. Do some holidays shopping. And, make your plans to go hiking tomorrow. :)
Preparing for winter in southwest Montana starts earlier than many people are used to. Sure, you need to get that snow blower ready; but, once that's done, then it's time to find some places to hike, ski, and fish...It's more fun in the snow. :)
Last year, it was the first week of November. This year, it just may have started today. Is old man winter here to stay?...maybe. Look on the bright side, however. See it as an opportunity to start planning those winter hikes and cross country skiing locations; or, stay inside and do some holidays shopping. :)
Yes, we have some snow in Bozeman. Will it stick around for homecoming weekend?...In the valley, probably not; but, in Hyalite and above, probably yes. We're that much closer to ski season. :)
Surprise!...The snow is back. There's enough of it in Bozeman that it will make you wonder if this is fall or winter. Oh well...Put another log on the fire and wait a few days until this blows out of here...Knock on wood. :)
