| episode_narrative | A steady stream of moisture coming in from the southwest interacted with the Arctic air sliding down from Canada, and caused heavy snow and gusty easterly winds over northwest Montana. Near whiteout conditions with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour were observed. Some places received over 30 inches of new snow. Roads become impassable at times, particularly in the Essex to Kalispell corridor during the Monday morning commute. Previous heavy snowfall that occurred Feb. 3 and 4 compounded snow removal problems in city-centers. Airport operations had difficulty keeping runways clear during this event. |
| event_narrative | An avalanche covered the BNSF railway that runs parallel to US-2 near Marias Pass. Avalanche warnings and rail and road closures continued for days after the storm ended. |
