Weather
Damn the hot, dry weather.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/05/18/news/state/75-fires.txt">Weather gives fires early start</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>The fire season is off to an early start in parts of Montana, with the recent unseasonably warm weather helping dry out grasses and other possible fire fuels.</blockquote><br />n<br />nThe past few days it is really starting to show that we could…

Drought
<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/04/21/news/state/65-drought.txt">Report: Drought waning in state</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Montana appears to be emerging from its seven-year drought, with average to above-average mountain snowpack and widespread spring rain leading experts to issue the best water supply outlook since 1997.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI would have to agree with this one.

At least we are luckier than the far eastern part of the state where they received a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/04/20/news/state/45-dies.txt">regular blizzard</a> and had 5-6 foot drifts to cope with.

Rain, Rain, Rain
Just over another inch of rain around here. It wasn't as bad as the weather service was predicting but plenty to make it miserable. We are just soaked to the gills. Water standing in sandy soil like you never see it. It's been more years than I can remember since it has been this wet.<br…

More Rain
We recieved another 3/4 inch of rain/snow Saturday night through Sunday to keep us wet, muddy and miserable. It's supposed to be pretty warm for a couple of days and then guess what, more rain and snow.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT<br />nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT<br />n447 AM MDT MON APR 3 2006<br />n<br />n…SIGNIFICANT…

What Snow?
I see by the paper that Billings had a nice little <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/03/20/news/local/25-snow.txt">snow storm</a>. I had been watching the weather and knew the storm was coming and was hopeful and dreading it both at the same time. A nasty storm while calving is always difficult but the moisture sure would have been nice. As it…

Febuary Weather
I saw <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/03/03/news/local/40-weather.txt">this story about the weather</a> this morning and the first thing I though to my self was, "why does Lorna Thackeray always do the weather stories for the Gazette?" Every time there is a weather story in the Gazette Lorna is the reporter and I can usually tell you what is going…
