Weather Change On The Way For Bozeman?

Colleen O'Quinn — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:03:49 +0000

Do I hear the “S” word? A major pattern change is possible by mid week next week. This change would involve much below normal temperatures moving in Tuesday night and Wednesday behind a strong cold front. Precipitation should develop behind the front, and temperatures may be cold enough to have that precipitation fall in the [...]

Only In Bozeman Does the Weather Change This Quick [PHOTOS]

Cole — Thu, 10 May 2012 23:08:13 +0000

I don't know if Bozeman weather is having mood swings or is just indecisive. For the last three years, right at the end of the MSU Spring Semester it seems to snow one last time. Here at the XL Studio we couldn't believe it was snowing this morning so we snapped a photo out in our parking lot. Then two hours later we snapped another showing all the snow gone and gorgeous blue skies.

Spring Has Sprung – Avalanche and Flood Danger

Colleen O'Quinn — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:49:48 +0000

The heavy wet snow, while great for skiing, has created a high avalanche danger, and the potential for flooding.

According to the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center, the avalanche problem is simple: lots of new snow and wind-loading is adding stress to a weak snowpack. Triggering an avalanche is likely today and the avalanche danger is rated HIGH on wind-

Erin Phillips — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 21:23:33 +0000

Now That's Some Snow!

Tom Jordan — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 14:05:25 +0000

Colleen and I talked with my brother Mike on XL Country Tuesday morning. He called from Tulsa during the BEAST of a storm there. Almost TWO feet of snow fell around Tulsa. And for the first time in history, the state of Missouri shut down Interstate 70 between St. Louis and Kansas City due to a winter storm. The newspaper in Tulsa, Okla., canceled its print edition for the first time in more than a century. And in Chicago, public schools called a snow day for the first time in 12 years.

Journey Into The Backcountry – Step 4

Erin Phillips — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 23:03:16 +0000

Skiing up hill. Yes, you read correctly - skiing up hill. That's a new thought in my noggin. It kind of goes against everything your body feels and your brain thinks. But that's what you do in backcountry snowboarding. OK - so not only do I have to learn how to ski, I have to do it uphill. Hmm.

Have You Ever Stumbled Upon A Treasure?

Tom Jordan — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:00:24 +0000

I have actually found a buck or two sometimes just walking in a parking lot. I pick it up of course. Even though it's only a buck, I look around quickly to see if anyone is nearby that might have dropped it. Walking through parks I've found everything from backpacks to ballcaps, to pens. But what this person found is a true treasure!

Jump In And Go

Tom Jordan — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 19:00:16 +0000

Do you spend extra time each morning warming up your car before you leave for the day? I used to do that all the time. Now I just jump in and go. I give it about 30 seconds or so, but I’ve always read that with today’s cars and trucks, there is no reason to [...]
