Winter driving

Springtime snowstorms can be tricky, and last weekend's storm had snowplows scrambling. We'll share how they tackled the unexpected wintry blast.

As the leaves fall and mornings get brisk, Montana’s scenic routes prepare for winter’s embrace. The Beartooth Highway is about to take a seasonal break.

It's not so much the snow or ice or low visibility that drives us bonkers.

Snowfall is expected to be heaviest south of Billings. Red Lodge could get up to 12"and travel to Wyoming could be hazardous. A Winter Storm Watch begins at 12 AM Wednesday and runs through Friday at 5 PM.

The Montana Department of Transportation will reassess the conditions over the weekend (the pass will likely reopen by Monday). Beartooth Highway typically closes for the season in mid-October.

Winter is coming. Are you ready? Because we have a forecast featuring nearly an entire week of snow in the Billings area, as well as freezing temperatures!

Billings, I know you're getting used to warmer weather, but I'm afraid I've got some bad news. We've got to get prepared for another round of snow and cold temps.

When it's cold in Montana, don't ever leave this item in your vehicle.

This morning, I tried to start gathering all the winter stuff that normally sits in the trunk of my car for the next six months of Montana winter.

Most of my driving life has been right here in good old Billings, Montana.  That would be 40+ years worth of winter driving.  As I was heading home around 9am for a "lunch" break from work I went up North 27th street.  The snow was coming down pretty good...
