Bozeman may not be the only Montana city to enact early water use restrictions this year. A very significant portion of the state is already in "Exceptional Drought" condition.

The spring storm that has brought snow and heavy wind to the entire state of Montana this week has turned out to be an absolute mess for travelers on the roads.

What is designed to be a great tool to see snow removal progress across Bozeman has become an unexpected moment of Zen when I need a break. There's an online map that lets you view the most recent activity of the City of Bozeman snow removal crews.

By late Monday morning, there were at least 2 dozen incidents on Montana highways that required Highway Patrol to be dispatched. Snow covered roads and low visibility guarantees there will be at least more slide-offs before days end.

The roads are way more slick than you think today. Dozens of crashes and slide-offs are affecting travel on the I-90 corridor. Please know that commute time is going to require patience.

Need to get out of the house (or the office) and explore a new trail around the Gallatin Valley? The Gallatin Valley Land Trust and the City of Bozeman make that super easy with the digital trail map.

Knowing where a decent rest stop is while you're on the road is crucial. Cell service can get spotty in rural Montana so it's always best to check a map before you leave, just in case.

It hasn't been a great week for positive COVID-19 cases in Gallatin County. There have been 30 more cases reported in the last 24 hours and 3 current hospitalizations.

HABs, or Harmful Algal Blooms, are toxic to animals and humans because they produce toxins. Swimming in bodies of water with HABs (or even being NEAR them) can make you sick.

Bozeman is generally a very safe place and the best way to KEEP it safe is to use all the tools and information available.

The CDC and the World Health Organization have advised that social distancing is one of the most effective ways to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Just about every day in July there has been at least one small earthquake in southwest Montana. Some days have seen SEVERAL small tremors.
