Helena's "Tropical" Winter (So Far)

The elevation of Helena is 3875'. Snow levels have been consistently above 5,000' most of the Winter. The hills around the city should be well covered in feet of snow. Today a Chinook wind has warmed us up to 62 degrees, a near record.

Just a little puff of exhaust from the DPU to get this WB grainer over the hump.


Newish
Now if only all graffiti were this cool. Reminds me of Louis Wain's famous cat paintings

Even the snow level in the Big Belts is high.
