Here's the latest update on the snowpack in Montana, with a concentration on southern and southwestern Montana, which always includes information on the Upper Yellowstone River Basin. Of note, the Basin is still above 150% of the long term average. The City of Billings is within a half inch of its all-time seasonal record for snowfall, and 5.3 inches short of the all-time record. They have as much as 5 inches of new snow forecast for this Sunday. This info is relevant to anyone planning activities in Yellowstone National Park, particularly the northern portion, in May through July.

This info comes from two different articles, one in the Bozeman Chronicle and one from the Billings Gazette. As usual, the links are too big for the Link URL field on this page, but I will put both of them below, for anyone who wants to copy and paste.
