| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong pressure gradients ahead of a Pacific storm system caused gusty winds to develop in the Upper Yellowstone Valley. This combined with the record snowfall which fell across the area on December 3 and 4 to produce widespread blowing snow which reduced visibilities to near zero, and forced the closure of I-90 between Columbus and Bozeman after numerous accidents were reported. |
