episode_narrativeAfter the heavy snow event which left several feet of snow across portions of northwest Montana, emergency managers reported numerous roofs were exceeding load capacity and were in danger of collapse, especially in Libby, MT. Heavy, wet snow Wednesday evening and overnight transitioned to freezing rain on Feb. 9. Heavy snow and rain added weight to roofs that were already stressed. Snow along Highway 2 from Essex to Marias Pass lead to road closures due to avalanche danger.
event_narrativeA 200 foot wide avalanche occurred between Essex and Devils Creek spilling over US-2 to a depth of 8 inches. This caused the Montana Dep. of Transportation to close to the road because of the avalanche danger.
