GREAT FALLS — How much snow you saw from the winter storm this week was very much a matter of being in the right place at the right time - or wrong place, wrong time, depending on how you feel about snow.
Some areas received very large amounts of snow - areas in and around Pony in Madison County recorded more than three feet of snow, and many areas across southern and eastern Montana received more than a foot of snow.
I-94 was closed between Billings and the North Dakota border on Tuesday for several hours due to the snow, and the town of Broadus welcomed scores of truckers who were temporarily stranded.
