Re: Snow in July?

I walked out of the office today to find it almost sleeting. I thought to myself, "I bet it is snowing in Island Park."

I made it to Spearfish yesterday evening. I am still here waiting out weather in Idaho. Maybe tomorrow.

Re: Snow in July?

Clouds finally lifting around here, and all the mountain ranges hereabouts have lots of fresh snow above about 7500 to 8000 feet. We got a good soaker yesterday, which will help prevent some fires.
