Stream Flow and Weather Updates.

Tuesday May 29th: We woke up to a inch of heavy wet snow on the ground and most of the tree branches are sagging towards the ground with the heavy weight of the white stuff. It was a typical Memorial Day weekend with plenty of rain to keep campers and BBQ's stuck inside most of the weekend. Saturday was the only nice day of the three day weekend and if one day had to be nice I am glad that it was nice for Peter and Lisa's wedding day. Sunday Morning was nice out and Moira, Reece and I ventured out to the Elk Grove Pond to do a little fishing and running around with the Bryan's. Dave and I made quick work of catching a handful of fish in the pond before the dogs turned the shore into a muddy mess and sent most of the fish to the other end of the pond. We came home and spent the rest of the day recovering from the wedding the day before and at around 9 pm the heavens opened up and the rain started to fall. It rained most of the night and we woke to overcast skies on Monday Morning. By noon the heavens opened again and it rained hard until 5 pm last night. The rain totals for the 24 hour period were just over and inch for Bozeman and 1.10 inches for Ennis. A very good spring soak er that will hopefully help ease the pain of low snow packs in the mountains. Flows on most of the rivers have made a drastic drop due to the cold weather and the fact that it has been snowing in the mountains for the past week or so. I am not sure how much snow was put in the mountains but gaining versus loosing snow this time of year is always a bonus. The flows should be coming back up this week with temps reaching back in the high 70's and low 80's by the end of the week.
