Brutal Blizzard expected in E. Montana
NWS Notice
Statement as of 7:25 AM MST on December 12, 2008
... Blizzard watch remains in effect from late tonight through
late Saturday night...... Possible life threatening conditions to impact the area this weekend...
A storm system combined with an incoming Arctic airmass will
bring snow... which could be heavy at times... tonight through
Saturday night. Increasing winds with the push of Arctic air will create falling temperatures Saturday. On Saturday night...
dangerous wind chills can also be expected as well as snow drifts of several feet deep. Wind chills Saturday night will drop to 30 to 65 below... which can create frostbite within 5 minutes. Traveling across northeast Montana Saturday and Saturday night is strongly discouraged and could be putting your life at risk.
I also looked at the forecasts for SoCal and the snow levels for next week are not expected to get below 2000' or so at this time.
