HELENA — Thursday’s meeting of the state Drought Advisory Committee has been canceled due to spring rain and snow.

Jackie Williams, executive assistant in the office of Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger, sent an e-mail Wednesday morning announcing the cancellation.

“Due to the wonderful inclement weather and the accumulating moisture levels in Montana today and the wet forecast for tomorrow, we are canceling the Drought Advisory meeting of 19 April,” she wrote.

The next meeting will be held in May.
The National Weather Service issued a heavy snow warning for much of Wednesday for the mountains of western Montana, due to a slow-moving, wet Pacific storm that brought rain or snow to much of the state. Forecasts called for as much as 18 inches of snow at higher elevations.

“We had several calls in the office requesting that we cancel the meeting because they didn’t want to travel in this,” Williams said.

there there won't be a water shortage. :)

2. The city asked to use our church building for a warm-up spot

in case was cold the day of the Global Warming Event in the park across the street. We all had a good chuckle, and then approved the request.
