I see a national news story this morning on how snow has closed some mountain roads in Colorado. Two days ago I mentioned in the bigskyblog that snow had closed the Beartooth highway but this was reported only in the local news items and failed to make the national news. I've mentioned it before and I am sure I will mention it again but it really seems like Montana is somtimes the forgotten state when it comes to stuff like this. A Montana College student has a voluminous "call of nature" and the national news media is all over it, but a weather related story like snow and it is completely ignored. Can anyone explain why this is? I'm beyond trying to figure it out anymore.
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide to the future. Chinese proverb












Simple. Everyone expects Montana to have snow but when you hear about someone full of scat you naturally think of California or New York. That's why those stories make the news.
