in Montana we still have snow at 8,000ft and have only seen about four or five days where ambient temps were at or above 70F. A mild summer means low fire probability and a regular flow of runoff for the western watersheds. Glacier has been receiving snow up until the past week or ten days. Looks like it'll be a short summer up there.

I saw a snow drift that was plowed through in lower Hayden Valley, Yellowstone NP a few years back that was roughly 50ft high, quite a sight. I can imagine what that drift at Glacier looks like.
