Turbulent Winter Weather in Helena

You're kidding, right? That's turbulent weather in Helena? That road is bare and nearly dry. The snow is barely to the top of the rails. Pretty sure the locals are going "Yeah, it's spring time!"

The sky looks threatening. Hey! I've got that loco. BNSF must've borrowed it.

That's probably the case Bill. Weather can, and does, change rapidly in Montana and Wyoming. We went to Yellowstone last year. When we got there, it was 85 and sunny. A week later, when we left, it was 25 and there was about 6 inches of snow. Not unusual for September.
