The wider storm

A cold front and lingering northwesterly upslope flow behind the front resulted in a stretch of heavy snow in the Madison/Gallatin Ranges and vicinity April 16. Heavy snow within the Gallatin Valley had greater success sticking on non-paved surfaces, but did accumulate on roadways to a lesser extent.
