The southernmost counties of Carbon, Park, Stillwater, Big Horn and Sweet Grass were hit particularly hard.
In one day, Cole Creek near the Red Lodge Mountain resort had received about 40 inches of snow. Meanwhile, Nye in Stillwater County got about 20 inches of snow, and the Bighorn Mountains also saw high accumulations.
Between three and six inches of snow fell in Bozeman early October 5, cutting electricity to almost a thousand customers. By about 5 p.m., power had been restored to all major electricity lines.
