On Monday, March 20, 2023, it snowed in Montana. Some places got up to six inches of snow, which might seem weird for the first day of spring. But in Montana, it can snow any time of year.
A meteorologist called Curtis Grevenitz said that the snow happened because of a low-pressure system. This system brought cold air and moisture from Canada, and it also made strong winds that blew the snow around. The snow was meant to stop on Monday night, but there might be some light snow and rain on Tuesday.
Some people might think that spring is coming late or that winter is coming back because of the snow. But others might be happy because it gives moisture to the land. The sun's rays are crossing Earth's equator on the first day of spring, which means the days will get longer until summer starts.
Spring is a time when the weather can change a lot. In Montana, the elevation and shape of the land can make different types of weather. it's just part of nature's cycle for snowfalls. Spring brings new life and beauty to everything around us, like flowers, birds, and trees. So enjoy the snow while it lasts, and look forward to spring!
