Montana’s Biggest Snow Days Ever Recorded

If there's one thing I've been able to confirm what I always knew in my two months of living in Montana, it's that Montanans are tough.

Maybe it's the ranching or farming lifestyles, maybe it's the unpredictable weather, or simply the big sky air... regardless, Montanans are built differently.

Winter Weather in Montana? No Sweat For Montanans!

There's no doubt that I'll eventually get acclimated and adjust to the colder temps but for now, I still have to endure my first Montana winter. We got a fun little dusting this past week and I was already busting out my snow boots to the well-deserved laughter from my coworkers.

With all of that being said, even Montanans have seen their fair share of heavy snowfall.
