Montana snowfall amounts map

This latest Spring storm that is expected to blanket most of southern Montana with snow, is now expected to dump up to 3 feet of fresh snow in the very high elevations. Places like the Absaroka/Beartooth, and Crazy Mountains are in the crosshairs.

Lower elevations are not expected to receive nearly that much snow, but may certainly encounter a few inches of accumulation. The snow will be heavy and sloppy, and extra caution is needed on the roadways.
