Cold and Snow in July – Higher elevations of Montana and Wyoming could see snow to start the week.

The snow was reported at elevations as low as 6,500 feet. Snow has fallen in the northern Rockies to start this week.

A taste of winter weather swept into the northern Rockies Sunday into early Monday where snow was reported in parts of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. Above 10,000 feet in Yellowstone National Park, there was enough new snow to build a snowman.

 

Look what we found on top Mt. Washburn (elev. 10,268 ft) in Yellowstone Nat’l Park this morning.

 It was enough to close Beartooth Pass Monday on the Wyoming side, typically open from late May through mid-October, cutting off the most direct route from Red Lodge, Montana, to Yellowstone National Park.

 

A light coating of snow could be seen on an Idaho DOT webcam at Lost Trail Pass Monday morning.

Brundage Ski Resort near McCall, Idaho, also saw some snowfall.

 

 

In Wyoming, snowflakes were spotted on a camera at Rendevous Peak near Jackson.
