COLD AND WET MONTANA SPRING

I'm sure you have heard about it. Flooding in Montana. There is also plenty of snow up in the mountains, which will soon turn into water, run downhill, and add insult to injury. Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-70's later this week, making a fast meltdown and more flooding likely.

Beartooth Mountains, about 10,000 ft at the top

Crazy Mountains, draped by a storm cloud, topping of at around 9,200 ft

Abzarokas, peaking around 10,700 ft

Angry, swollen Yellowstone River spilling over its banks

DOT crews work arduously on the closed eastbound lane of I90, 16 miles east of Livingston

Railway crews repair flood eroded tracks, which border the Yellowstone

Moisture laden storm cloud engulfs the mountains around Livingston

Bridger Mountains, 9,600 ft

Mount Edith, 9,600 ft, 50 miles southeast of Helena

Elkhorns, peaking at 9,400 ft, as seen from our home in MT
