What are winters like in Bozeman, Montana?

[@ccarta192]

The first time i was in Bozeman was on my way to work at the old faithful inn in yellowstone. The greyhound bus dropped us off at the Bozeman bus station at 5 am April 28th 2004.. It was cold as heck..me being from pasadena calif. was not used to the cold ..however I got used to it went back for 4 more seasons in yellowstone.. one of the best experiences of my life..got to celebrate the old faithful inn's 100th anniversary. What a grand old building ..it was an honor working in such a building with SO much history.. 😊😊😊

I love your comment to "buy a shovel", so true.

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Pretty necessary right?!

[@StellarFella]

I appreciate this video because it imparts a heavy dose of realism and practical tips.

Thanks, that was the goal!

Winter driving in Bozeman proper is not that bad, unless you’re out driving in the middle of a heavy snowstorm where the plows cannot keep up with the heavy snow. The valley where Bozeman proper is located is pretty flat land. So the flat land makes the winter driving a lot easier. In the mountain roads surrounding Bozeman the winter driving is much scarier! You pretty much have to cross a mountain pass to travel to any other city in Montana from Bozeman. If you’re crossing those passes in winter conditions, then snow tires or chains are definitely a wise idea.

[@StellarFella]

Yep! Getting to and from Livingston is problematic certain months out of the year.

[@StellarFella]

I appreciate the laws requiring sidewalks to be shoveled clean within 24 hours after a snowfall. It is hard on senior citizens and people with dangerous heart conditions though. Conscientious neighbors should chip in and I'm sure many do. Modern snow blowing machines work great. I'm from Denver.

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Hi Cecil, we do love seeing how many neighbors help each other out when it comes to shoveling the sidewalks!

[@sharkwhisperer7326]

I'm in love with the snow and no one shares my love being from Florida and growing up in Las Vegas. So, yeah. But I have lived in Colorado! And I'm ready for more!

It is 18 degrees F in Bozeman and 34 degrees F in Denver. Denver averages 300 sunny days each year.

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Yep! Bozeman's winters are not as mild as they are down in Denver.

My childhood best friend lives & sells real estate in Bozeman. I love Big Sky country!

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

We sure are lucky to live here!

[@YO3A007]

Cold. An unbelievable number of homes are for sale (Zillow.) A couple of beautiful months of weather--after that it is ice fishing and lots of bone-chilling days....so exciting.

[@matthewhayes9734]

Sounds like you have to be wealthy to live here just my initial impression. You have to own a 4 wheel drive. You should own a snow plow. And the median home price is like 777,000. If you have that kind of money though you can probably afford to live comfortable in such harsh conditions.

[@BelloBudo007]

Thanks for that information. I'm not too sure why my internet thought I might like to move to Montana in the USA, but there you go. I will say though, that as an Aussie living in the sub tropics, I am feeling slightly guilty. You mentioned people moving to Bozeman from California. Are there concerns that certain new arrivals might also bring their political views and start trying to change what it is that Bozeman people like about the place just the way it is now?

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Hi Bill, Australia to Bozeman seems like a reasonable trip :) While the politics are certainly a concern for many, we'd say a more popular concern is that the people moving here are not willing to help maintain the way of life we are lucky enough to enjoy here. For example, not respecting the wilderness, not being friendly or helpful to neighbors, and not giving back to the community are things that will quickly erode if all those moving here don't make an effort to help us maintain it.

[@BelloBudo007]

@@bozemanrealestategroup Understood!! In some ways it's about respecting the culture of Bozeman, and I think that's fair enough too. Otherwise I'd be asking 'why are you here'?

In our little community of 3,000 California, Oregon and Washington have found us and what used to be affordable rentals and property prices. Now? You can't find a rental and those that bought on the cheap are fixing up run-down places and turning them into air bnb's. Those that sell in the other states are making a million plus then coming here and buying for a third and banking the rest. Then they decide they don't like the local services and they need improved and beautified and landscaped and so they get on the city council, planning and zoning and BAM! Just like that we have a bunch more taxes to pay so that our community looks as nice as the ones they left because of high crime, property taxes and services. And now? We are seeing more crime, drug busts, inflated property taxes and not a lot more services. See how this works?

My family is thinking of taking a short vacation in a month or so for complex reasons. We were talking about visiting Montana and I suggested Bozeman (Star Trek fan). How bad is the temperature/snow around late November/early December? If you know anything about the weather west of the Cascades how would it compare to that?

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Hi! Montana weather can be unpredictable but in late November/early December there's a good chance it will be snowy and cold. The worst of winter usually isn't until January and February. We've had some mild winters the last few years, but there could be some decent storms during those early winter months. Just last week we had nearly a foot of snow and then back to 60 degrees a few days later so in Montana you never know what you're going to get!

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

I see the average is 91 inches, do you actually get that much snow in town? How much snow on average to you get in your yard at the peak of winter?

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

It can really vary from year to year but I would say it's not uncommon to have a foot of snow in your yard in town throughout the peak of winter!

If I moved from 115 degree phoenix to Bozeman, I would be called a "transplant", & what happens when something is "transplanted"? If you don't attend to it properly & think you could bring your previous lifestyle into a totally different atmosphere, do you think you'll survive?

[@moosespeak6140]

@Burger With cheese very sad, but so very true!

[@michaelk4140]

beautiful in the summer, but you can keep your winter after a week of sking

[@jmn93065]

And don't forget the long dark nights to along with the bitter cold.

[@stephenbrinckerhoff3510]

cold, white and fun. That's winter in Montana in general. Bozeman has no lock on this.

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

Absolutely! All of Montana is spectacular (and cold!) in the winter!

[@garfield8900]

Beautiful country but very cold and expensive!

[@bozemanrealestategroup]

The cold comes at a cost! ;)

[@moosespeak6140]

Dear southern California, there's 7 to 8 months of winter here with rabid Grizzly bears that love sun baked humans. The the traffic in the valley is worse than LA. Montana is full of conservative hard working people and isn't libtard friendly. Simply put, Montana is cool to visit, but don't forget to go back home 😁

[@slatsgrobneck7515]

True that! The state went straight RED at the state level in 2020. Usually there is a little mix but people in MT seemingly said - no blue state BS heeere. We anticipate long hard winters, because, in the spring there are fewer bugs and transplants.

[@moosespeak6140]

@Burger With cheese homes not home anymore sadly. The valley is the next Boulder,Colorado. The biggest export of Bozeman is our youthbecuzno one can afford to live there any longer. High rise hotels going up and screwing up the skyline and city politics are all libtard run sadly. They care more about dog parks but have no proble.letting people die in the cold. I find libtards are liberal until it effects their paycheck or property taxes sadly.

[@StellarFella]

There are four secret Antifa training compounds inside and outside of Bozeman. I will be reporting there for training soon! LOL!
