    Plenty of snow in Montana along I-90. It snowed on me from the continental divide past Bozeman on Tuesday. I experienced something new around Bozeman. Snow storm with lightning never seen that before. I had to complain about 90's in L.A. last week now I see 20's and 30's in North Dakota and Minnesota.

    Not unusual in west to have lightning in the winter storms as the air is cold and unsettled. I have seen lightning every season, but it is neat when it is snowing at the same time. Stay safe and warm!:)

    Wet is better than frozen and wet. And you have 2 people to do the work. I was running flats in the Northeast, and you get some rain and ice on those suckers they weigh a ton. And they will not fold frozen, so you are stuck rolling them into massive rolls and strapping to the deck just to get them secure. I will take wet any day over that. The only positive is that we only used steel tarps, no lumber tarps. So while it took 3 to cover a full load, they were normally small enough not to be too big a burden.

    It is called Thunder Snow. We get it allot around the Lakes. On the day I got married we had sun, rain, sleet and thunder snow.
    I probibly should have taken that as a warning and walked away.

    I guess that is what we get to look forward to, a tarp frozen in the shape of an engine. GREAT!
