Many of you probably saw this on the national news this weekend, but in case you missed it, Missoula had a major avalanche hit right in the city late Friday afternoon at about 4:15 pm. This happened just one block from the school I taught at for many years before I retired.

An 8 year old boy and an older couple (in their 60's) were caught in the slide. The boy, whose mother was a student of mine a few years ago , was playing in the snow and the couple were in their home. These homes and the school all are right at the base of Mt. Jumbo, which forms the entrance to the Rattlesnake Valley. This is all part of the city of Missoula. Within seconds after it hit dozens of people were there with shovels and avalanche probes digging to find the boy. He was found and hour later and is now in satisfactory condition in St. Pats hospital in Missoula.

The couple was not found until 3 hours later and they survived because they were in their home at the time and as the avalanche hit the house, it broke apart and they were trapped in the rubble, but air pockets from the frame of the house gave them air to survive. They are ok but still in guarded condition.

We have had a tremendous amount of snow since Feb. 1st. Nothing in January and then winter decided to arrive in full force. At last count, as of this morning, we have had 60.5 inches of snow in Lolo since Feb. 1st. And none has melted. Nobody knows where to pile the stuff anymore. Snow mounds at intersections are 10-12 feet high. So....if any of you need some snow let me know. I'll be glad to send you some. Snow depth in my back yard is 52 inches right now. Boy, will this be a mess when it decides to get warm.

Troy.....I'm not sure what Eastern Montana has for snow pack but remember that our runoff heads west. I know that Helena and Great Falls have a ton of snow and that all goes into the Missouri River and heads your way. It seems that most of the snow pack that is way above average is West of the Divide....good news for you.....bad news for us. We are at 175% above average here in the Bitterroot Drainage. Floods are coming. But it would have to be 475 foot deep flood to reach us. Living up high does have some advantages.

beast (18h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (21h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol
Cheesey (26-Mar) : 2009? No thanks! One open heart surgery is enough!
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Good for you!
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Yes. That's the one.
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Is that "Lady Dugan" per chance?

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
