Montana Gov. Bullock declared a state of emergency after a storm dumped as much as three feet of snow on some parts of the state over the weekend. “It’s hard to remember that it’s only September when there’s four feet of snow outside,” said one resident.
Great Falls, Montana, got 9.7 inches of snow Saturday, the highest one-day September snow amount for that city, followed by 9.6 inches Sunday, the second highest, the National Weather Service said. But even higher amounts fell in other areas of Montana from Friday into Monday morning. Browning got a whopping 4 feet, according to the weather service. The Dupuyer area got 37 inches, and the Heart Butte area saw 34 inches.
