Montana is broken up in two regions. Western Montana is in the "Intermountain" region, while Eastern Montana is in the "High Plains" region. So even though we are one state, we may see two completely different forecasts.

There are golf courses around Montana that are still open. If you can remember back to last year at this time, most of Montana was under a blanket of snow that stayed with us until March.

There is Still A Lot of November Left

For now some of the long range forecasts haven't been as accurate as they may have been in the past. If you are a golfer the milder weather is great. If you are a skier or snowboarder, seeing golfers this late into November, may not give you much hope. There is still a lot of November left and we haven't begun winter yet.

Montana May Still See A "White Christmas"

According to Old Farmer's Almanac the expectations are still colder with more snow than average. Their forecast also calls for a "White Christmas" in both regions of Montana. For now we can enjoy the warmer weather, because we know that winter will be here soon enough. Only time will tell how accurate the forecast will have been for Montana.
