BREAKING RECORDS & SNOWPACK
We had several records fall early Saturday morning. Butte shattered a record set back in 2009 (11° that year) falling to 3° and Sheridan clipped a new record bottoming out at 14° (previous record was 15° in 1977). West Yellowstone was the coldest location in the state dropping to -1° which was the same temperatures reached in 1997.

Two early season storms dumped loads of snow across western Montana. Most notable is Marias basin at 6600% of normal snowpack. The Gallatin range is at 304% of normal snowpack, while the Madison is at 295% of normal snowpack. The Jefferson range has a healthy 686% of normal snowpack. It is still early in the season, but the early snow in the mountains is impressive.
