There are some pretty impressive numbers here. It’s looking more and more like flooding will be a significant issue this spring . . .
Snow keeps piling up in Glacier National Park and in mountain ranges across Northwest Montana at a time when the snowpack usually is diminishing.
Recent storms have delivered 8 inches of new snow at West Glacier and up to 18 inches at higher elevations in the park, causing trouble for park plowing crews that spent part of this week clearing previously plowed roads.
Automated snow measuring sites in the park usually record a decrease in snow water content by mid-April, but they are instead recording increases.
