  2. Precipitation is averaged over a long period of time.  Average annual precipitation is 15 inches, but great variations are seen. The mountain ranges block the moist Pacific air, holding moisture in the western valleys, and creating rain shadows to the east. Heron in the west receives the most precipitation, 34.70 inches. On the east side of a mountain range the valleys are much drier; Lonepine averages 11.45, and Deer Lodge 11.00 inches of precipitation. The mountains themselves can get over 100 inches, for example the Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park gets 105 inches.   Perhaps the driest is an area southwest of Belfry that averaged only 6.59 inches over a 16 year period. Most of the larger cities get 30 to 50 inches of snow each year. Mountain ranges themselves can accumulate 300 inches of snow during a winter.

  3. Really depends on where you are in Montana. It is a large state, and the weather is quite variable from place to place. For example, the Grinnell Glacier gets 105 inches of precipitation per year.
