Who Checks the Snow Report the end of April?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Prudential MT Ranch & Recreational Group


Today, I enjoy another Spring day of a winter's scene, a blanket of snow. The local Snow Report predicts another day of "April Showers" here in SW Montana. So, why am I even looking at the snow report in April? One has to wonder, is Montana on the upturn for moisture after enduring almost of decade of drought? While snow cover is frustrating, it is good news.

The USDA reports that snow pack is 102% above average Statewide. The SW Montana river basin snow pack is well above average. For example, the Madison River Basin is 113% above average. The area ski resorts enjoyed a great season or powder and massive snow depths. Big Sky Resort had a 400" depth on Lone Mountain. Bridger Bowl boasted 397" of snowfall throughout the season. A great ski season is typically followed by an increase of ski vacationers for the next year. With that said, we look forward to an increase in sales of our resort properties.

Snow is great to have a beautiful summer, but after our last winter I am glad to say we don't have any.

Here it 80 degrees.  Kind of rare for Ohio to be so warm.  I actually had to turn the A/C on in my car.  I'm still hoping though for a freak snow storm to occur, but I don't think its going to happen.

I am done with the snow.  I just planted some new plants, lets hope the frost stays away.
