freezing rain

With up to a foot of snow over the past 48 hours, Mother Nature is playing a cruel joke on drivers in Missoula and western Montana today with a good dose of freezing rain over the snowfall.

The National Weather Service is reporting that Missoula will receive another four to six inches of snow today, with possible freezing rain as the week ends.

The National Weather Service is predicting that another round of snow is headed for northwest Montana.

So far, the Missoula area has experienced a dry fall, lots of snow over Christmas and into January, and with the advent of February, freezing valley rain and heavy mountain snow.
