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. :)
Friday, Bozeman's weather is supposed to get into the 60's...After that, it's supposed to get freezy freezy. Last year we never even got an Indian summer...This year is looking the same. Tomorrow, get out and enjoy some fishing or hiking! :)
In case you hadn't noticed, Bozeman and southwest Montana gets that holidays feel rather early...Just think of it as a reminder to make your holidays plans to visit Montana soon. Who knows?...You may find yourself snow shoeing along the Storm Castle road and even doing a little fly fishing of the Gallatin River along the way. :)
Snow returns to the Gallatin Valley. Later this week, most of it will go away; but, come November, count on it sticking around for months...Yes, winter starts a little early around here. :)
