Snow is coming down early this morning in the mountains and throughout Judith Basin and Fergus counties. Most roads are just wet, but 2-4 inches of snow have fallen, so a few roads could be slick or slushy. Take it slow! The snow will wrap up quickly this morning. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through 9am.
