Billings, Montana: Record Snowfall -- Not a Bakken Story

Great for skiers.

Billings-based meteorologist Sean Campbell tells the Billings Gazette that a foot of snow fell on the city between midnight and 6 p.m., eclipsing the previous one-day record of 2.5 inches set in 2007.

 I hope no one planning to attend the upcoming Global Warming conference in Cancun, Mexico, has a connecting flight through the upper Midwest this winter. Since weather moves west to east over fly-over country, best for global warming conference attendees to avoid connecting flights through Chicago.
