The National Weather Service has issued warnings that a winter storm is headed towards Western Montana late this week.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for the mountains and foothills around Western Montana from 9 o'clock tonight through noon on Tuesday.

A strong weather system moving through Western Montana early Wednesday morning brought rain, and even some snow to the Missoula area.

The heavy snowfall in Missoula and the surrounding communities was by no means a normal event, but just how extraordinary was it? Meteorologist for the National Weather Service, Trent Smith tells us about Tuesday, the snowiest day of the storm.

I was delighted this morning when Peter asked everyone to call in with polite recomendations for the city plows and instead of whining, we were treated to tales of heroism, work ethic, and neighborly service. So, if you have a great story of someone helping you out please leave a comment of thanks along with your tale.

After Missoula was hit with record snowfall this week, my car and I were not prepared for the road ahead. Fortunately, we live in a town with lots of people who are willing to lend a helping hand.

The intense snow system that is pummeling Missoula is almost over, but as it leaves a new storm system will move in to take its place. Although the new system should be less aggressive than its predecessor, Missoula Weather Service forecaster Marty Whitmore details why we should still be concerned.

The snow is going to keep falling and although there is less likelihood of freezing rain on Friday, the thick accumulation of snow isn't going to be fun to drive in either. Warning Coordination Meteorolgist at Weather Service Missoula, Marty Whitmore explains how much snow we can expect by the time the storm runs out.

If you haven’t broken out that snow shovel yet, just look outside because its time.
