Freezing fog is terrible for most reasons except you can get some impressive rime ice photos

High wind craziness occurred today featuring a snow squall that moved through Great Falls. I got this video from the window at the office but winds have been WHIPPIN’ today

pretty sunset alert

My favorite four from Tuesday night ❤️

you know what’s extra crazy about this photo… this is the view looking SOUTH almost the entire aurora arc is SOUTH of Great Falls, MONTANA

McDonalds DOT camera 12:30 MST It’s cloudy to the north in central Montana but eastern Montana into North Dakota is getting a show right now!!

Kirsi takes “winter coat” very seriously, so much so that she starts turning white 🤣

it was WIMDY today high score of the day is 86 mph out by Choteau

MAINE OMG

very proud to have raised a cat who isn’t afraid of thunder (she used to get scared in the first couple months after I adopted her) ears still perk up when she hears the louder rumbles but there is no fear in her eyes my little kitten meteorologist

The allure of observing storms in western Montana is ✨mountains✨ makes for some really cool scenery pics 📍 Lincoln, MT

Storm chasing on a day off 🤌

On tonight’s episode of “DOT cameras casually capturing the best storm photos” we have the Denton camera looking east at 8PM towards a storm in northern Fergus county

On Monday I had the joy of hiking up to Upper Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. Started off with a boat ride across Two Medicine Lake followed by a 5 mile round trip that included Twin Falls.

NoDak 🤝 Red Wings Gibby the Goaltender which means there will be maximum Gibby on my tv this season

from SWPC… Saturday might get interesting!

this is the bad place 😬 (fire ~18 miles north of Helena, MT)

back to the annual struggle of trying to brush my very fluffy cat because it’s summer and she needs to shed but also she wants to eat the brush for some reason

The beauty of a G4 storm. Seeing the auroras overhead will never get old 💗💚 Taken north of Great Falls shortly after 1 AM June 1st

I feel so lucky right now, we’re supposed to be clouded over tomorrow and I was so disappointed but the CME came early can gave us overhead auroras and now I have like 50 photos to sort through I’m so filled with joy right now

Ok, so that was a show North side of Cheyenne, Wyoming

ALMOST OVERHEAD RIGHT NOW

THE SHOW IS STARTING

me: idk I might go home now *power lines start buzzing*

Nothing overly spectacular has happened yet but the auroras are definitely out 📍North of Great Falls

okay so guess who showed up super early 1002 km/sec this thing is screaming fast good grief 😮 So start looking up now. Can’t say how strong the auroras will get tonight but there’s a chance we’ll see an uptick here in an hour or two

Additional important context on the arrival and nature of the CME from SWPC:

Heads up aurora chasers… G4 watch is in effect for Sunday and Monday!! The initial impact of the CME is expected midday Sunday so North America will likely miss the start of this event. However, this CME is expected to be powerful enough to last into the night and into Monday.

don’t get me wrong, I love sitting in an open field and getting epic aurora photos but admittedly I also love it when I’m working shift and get to put my pics on the office account it’s equivalent to 6 year old me putting my drawing on the fridge 🥰

AURORAS ARE OUT!! Unfortunately it’s a bit cloud in the western half of Montana but eastern Montana is prime viewing tonight 📍 Saco DOT looking east

girl watched 2 minutes of Vegas/Edmonton hockey and decided it was time for a nap

PINTO BEAN!! 💚🤍

the auroras are out!!! 1. McDonald’s DOT 2. Malta South DOT

5-ISH MONTHS UNTIL NODAK HOCKEY!! 💚🤍

this one was way more visible to my camera than to the naked eye but the colors still came out nice ❤️

CME I wasn’t expecting is here, skies are clear, and I have my camera… 👀

this night is quickly turning into “how many times am I going to spell Monday ‘Montana’” very on par with this being my last mid

good morning Great Falls

Nights like these are proof you don’t necessarily need a large CME to get good auroras. All you need is some good solar wind and just the right conditions in the magnetosphere 🤌

Guess who remembered to bring her camera to work after forgetting it last night 🤣 WOO!! Beautiful substorm

AURORAS ARE OUT DOT images: McDonald’s and Malta South

captured a sweet sunset on the descent into SLC

NCHC SUPREMACY CONTINUES!!

Western Michigan wins the first hockey national championship in school history

proposal: a Four Nations-style tournament with these being the four teams

Perfect aurora viewing conditions last night ❤️💚

what a beautiful problem it is to have so many good aurora pics to sort through and edit that being said omg I can’t edit ALLLL of them (but they all look so GOOD!)

HELL YEAH!!!
