Wintry weather has closed some Glacier Park roads. The Two Medicine and Many Glacier roads are currently closed and the Inside North Fork Road is open to Doverspike Meadow, but closed the rest of its length.
The Going-to-the-Sun Road is open to Avalanche Creek on the west side and Rising Sun on the east side.
The Camas Road remains open. A storm predicted last night resulted in less than an inch of snow in Columbia Falls, but the Many Glacier SNOTEL site recorded five inches of snow. Temperatures are expected to remain cold for the next few days, but moderate to highs of about 40 by next week. Saturday night lows are expected to drop into the single digits as skies clear.
