Snow in September

Crazy, crazy MT weather. On Tuesday, I went fly fishing with a buddy and it was about 85 degrees. Beautiful sunny skies and the smoke had cleared off enough to see the mountains. Today it's snowing on the mountains and trying to snow down in the valleys. This is great news to the people fighting forest fires just east of the Gallatin Valley where I live and it's cool to look at, but it seems to be a little bit of overkill for snow this early in the year. There was a notice that just went out stating that the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park is closed. This is the only road that goes through the park and gets to an elevation of over 6000 feet is the pass over the mountains.

Nothing much else going on, though I am going to a conference this week for evidence management in Missoula. It should be an interesting conference and I'm going with my assistant chief, so maybe I can convince her to get me that raise I've been angling for. We'll have to see. The only other thing I've been doing is working out like a mad man trying to whip myself into shape in time for the physical testing coming up in November. Wish me luck.
