snowing with the sun out

Living in Montana gives you a new appreciation for snow. I don't think I've seen this much snow in my whole life. We've been here since June and I haven't once complained about the amount of snow we're getting. It's interesting because we get the Chinook winds and it warms up then, a week later the temperature drops and we're getting more snow. It's great! Of course I thought I saw wind when we lived in NC and I experienced my first hurricane. Nothing compared to the winds that come in off the Rockies. Winds recorded at 50-60 mph now that's some wind! The people at the foot of the Rockies have recorded winds close to 100 mph. Not only that but as the title to this blog indicates it snows here while the sun is out. My brother asked me if there was a snowbow... (you know like a rainbow when it rains... I didn't get it either at first). Anyway... snowing with the sun out. Rather an episode to experience... usually it's windy also because the winds are coming in and that's what's pushing the clouds out of the way... yet they're not finished unloading what they came for. Rather interesting.
