We've not had a ton of snow in Helena, in fact it's been rather mild with a couple brutal cold spells thrown in. We've have had a couple small snowfalls and one decent one. We've also had freezing fog multiple times that really coats the trees heavily with frost.
All photos are with my phone, so not the highest quality.
Freezing fog:
The decent snowfall from a couple weeks ago really piled up in the trees outside my cubicle window:
Then earlier this week I drove to Kalispell and found that the Seely/Swan to Kalispell had been hit with a good snow. Grumpy should be familiar with Kalispell's snowfall of roughly 8". Seely Lake to Swan Lake had roughly 12" with the deepest being around the Swan. I'd guess the Swan was deeper.

Aproaching Seeley Lake from the south
Stopped to get coffee and fuel
I recommend an Americano with a small amount of half and half at Jitterbug Java in Seeley.
On my way back in the evening. I should have stayed in Kalispell because I got into almost white out conditions in the dark between Seeley and Ovando on the way home.
