Snow

Chatting with folks back home we’ve heard more than one comment about the (relative) lack of snow so far this year. The past couple of winters have brought heavy, lingering snowpacks that changed the fly fishing dynamic throughout much of the northern Rockies and with another La Nina in place this winter, the forecast has […]

So I’m checking the weather back home this morning and lo and behold there’s snow in the forecast. Ok, so it’s only in a tiny little pocket up near Glacier, only above 6500 feet, only 1 to 3 inches possible and it will be gone in a heartbeat. There’s something about that first hint of […]

I took this a couple of weeks back. Some of that snow is flowing down the Madison now.  

It snowed in Austin (above) and San Antonio (Jake’s place below). You’d think the world has come to an end.  Schools closed, businesses closed, death and destruction on the roadways.  We had to rush out for pics this morning before it all melted.

Jess was wandering last night….

For most of the neighborhood the weather is making much more news that fishing today.  Even though we’re only half way through the first week of October, there’s a winter storm warning (pink on the map) out for territory above 500o feet (that’s down to the edge of Bozeman if you’re wondering). Just for interest […]

The Madison in the Park has enjoyed one of the better Septembers in recent memory in terms of fun and productive fishing – there have been good numbers of runners (rainbows and browns) and active fishing despite the bright sunshine dominating the weather for almost the entire month. Speaking of weather – it has changed […]

Taken yesterday around Bozeman.

Picked up the one who must be obeyed from work late yesterday afternoon and caught what I hope will be the last valley snow storm of the season blowing in from the west and crossing the Bridgers……

Damn these big April storms.  I’m gonna have to get a snowblower with some power.  I got just right at two feet of snow at my cabin this past week with drifts easily pushing four feet.  People were stuck everywhere, and it’s going to be muddy and crappy when it melts around here – the […]

Mother nature’s going to throw a curveball over the next few days, just after most of us in the neighborhood were getting used to this balmy weather.  Gallatin Field near Bozeman hit 80 on Tuesday and yesterday– that’s ‘blow out my favorite river warm’.  The curveball pitch is a cool and moist weather system moving […]
