Missoula is approximately 350 miles from Billings, MT. Sunday Dan and I left for Missoula about 8:00 am for a conference on Monday and Tuesday. It was snowing. We were blessed we hit snow, the roads were wet but not bad. We stopped in Butte - snow but not bad, got to Missoula wind was howling. Cold bitter and cutting - it was getting bad.
At breakfast we learned that neighboring areas (45 miles away) received about 21 inches that night. I watched out the window it was still snowing. Tuesday it quit. Tuesday night I knocked the snow from the pick-up and went into town and had supper. Wednesday we traveled home - roads were clear and dry.
Thursday the clouds were looking ominous. The photos are from the railing on my back porch Friday night. Oh by the way it is still snowing.
The news said that schools were closed in Missoula and surrounding areas because of Blizzard conditions. Several schools in the eastern part of the state were also closed.

The news says we have two more waves on the way. Yes I know it is still snowing.
