About the same here, plan on leaving Laurel by 3:30 or so, anticipating it may take longer for the first half of the drive, but supposed to be good after Big Timber or so. Hoping so anyway, that’s about as early as we can do.

Hopefully, the highway crews will be out plowing and sanding. Supposed to get better the further west we go.

Re: Playoff Attendance
Looks like the storm is rolling in overnight. Billings is expected to get 6-7". Great Falls is 5-6". Helena is 2-4"....weirdly enough, I don't think bozeman is expected to get hit at all.OutlanderCatAlum wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 3:58 pmI just spent some time looking on the MDT road cameras around the state. There's some snow in the NE part of the state, but the cameras elsewhere don't show much as of about 10 minutes ago. Great Falls roads looked bare and dry.Prodigal Cat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 3:25 pmHelena has light wind and a little spit of rain but roads are great. It was 68 degrees last night as its fallen some but its still 51 here at 2:30. It sounds like the front is going to stall about halfway between so it might be slick leaving GF but it will get better.BornBobcat2000 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 3:04 pmAnybody making the drive from Great Falls? My plan is to leave tomorrow morning with a stop in Helena for a couple of hours. Not feeling the best about the drive though

Looks like about 12" on our deck in Laurel. Supposed to be done around 11:30 or so, then the project to clear the driveway will begin. Glad to have a snowblower!

Re: Playoff Attendance
Rainy and 33 here in Bozeman with the temperature climbing during the day. Currently, it’s 16 and snowing in Livingston but supposed to get to 46 by mid day which should make travel fine.

Got a few inches of snow on the roads in Helena. Safe travels.

Temperature continuing to drop this morning in Bozeman. Curious to see if it warms up to the expected high or if that front was a little further south than anticipated.

Leaving Columbus at 1:30. All of us have been through this many, many times before. Part of being a Bobcat fan.

We got about an inch overnight in Great Falls. It was cold and dry before the snow, so nothing stuck.

Re: Playoff Attendance
It looks like SFA returned a lot of their tickets. Couple rows in the northwest lower section. And a bunch in 124.
Hating the griz since 02.

I had an 1/8” of ice on my truck. Could barely open the doors.

Yeah, driving in from Canyon Creek ice was starting to accumulate with the defrost on full blast.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if attendance tops 15K tonight with the road conditions.

Re: Playoff Attendance
It’s humid and foggy in Bozeman now with the clouds rolling in and out. Game time is calling for wind gust of up to 21 MPH and temperatures of 40 but high humidity again so it’s going to feel colder with the wind.

Just leaving Seattle on a flight to Bozeman. Looks like a few Cat fans headed to the game and one couple representing SFA. Go Cats!!
