The wider storm

A strong early Fall storm system moved into the Northern Rockies bringing significant snow to portions of the Billings Forecast Area. Heavy snow fell mainly along and south of a Livingston-Billings-Miles City-Baker line. The heaviest snowfall occurred along the eastern foothills of the Beartooth/Absaroka Mountains where up to two feet of snow fell. The main impacts from this storm were significant tree damage along with power outages as deciduous trees were still holding their leaves and northeast winds gusting over 20 mph added additional stress to trees and power lines.
