Summary

What a nice way to round out the last week Summer with a taste of Winter for our Ida”Snow” ski areas. This week brought the first snowfall of the season across the state beginning on Tuesday and several more reruns through today. Our neighbors in the Tetons and Bitterroot Ranges further east saw a couple feet of snow that closed mountain passes and delighted snow lovers. Overall, what became the season ending event for our mountain wildfires, is now the season starting event to re-charge the soil moistures. Unfortunately, this pattern won’t last because a warming trend is on the way for next week.
