A snowplow clears the lower section of Going-to-the-Sun-Road above Lake McDonald on Wednesday in Glacier National Park. Crews, who started clearing snow Tuesday, said they hoped to have the road cleared to the Avalanche Creek trailhead by the end of Wednesday.

I've been getting emails from friends that there is lots of snow in western Montana. Here in North Dakota where I am right now, the snow is gone and it is dry. Too dry. The Souris River through Minot got no runoff this Spring.
