You may think my title sounds odd coming from Montana, but let me explain...... We live in northcentral Montana, about an hour south of the Canadian border and an hour west of the Rockies. Typically western Montana, which is much more verdant, gets much more moisture than we do. I'm told that storms often cover the western part of our state and then head south at the Rockies. It isn't till the Dakotas that there is significant moisture. (People from parts of the Dakotas might disagree with me...) We have been in a drought for more years than I can count. Our son, Jonathan, who is 7, was born during the drought and I'm not certain how many years previous to his birth were dry. People who have always had adequate water supply in their wells have had to haul water during the past few years to water livestock and even their households. Thanks to some recent snows, I am very grateful to say that the snowpack in the Rocky Mountain front in our area is considered to be 98 percent of normal. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord. It will take years of normal to above average snowpacks to replenish depleted aquifers, but even one good year is tremendously encouraging. Blessings to you all.
