Montana (Glacier Park Snowpack)
In 2017, the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road over Logan Pass at Glacier National Park didn’t open until June 28th. And with 137% of normal snowpack this year, the road might be just as late, or even later! Here are several news stories and reference links about the Glacier Park snowpack and snowplowing:
- Crews encounter significant snow heading into spring as plowing begins in Glacier National Park
- Snow Stacked High as Crews Begin Plowing Glacier’s Sun Road

Senator Jon Tester is a traitor and oath-breaker to the Constitution. Sadly, even Montana has enough cities full of Socialists to elect such a despicable representative.
Sadly the same problem exists in every state. A very few counties actually make the decision who the U.S. senator will be. In Michigan, all it takes is as few as 8 or 9 counties out of 83 to re-elect, in our case, Debbie Stabenow.
Worse still the Michigan Republican Party can’t seem to get their act together enough to run anyone against her. Our one shot this year was, of all people, Kid Rock; and he pulled out.
Exactly the same reason why we continue to have Susan Collins in Maine !
