As far as snowfall goes, Havre received just 14.1 inches from Dec. 1 to Feb. 29. That makes it the 19th least snowiest winter on record.

Weather and COVID: Concerns about coronavirus impacts are high ■ Continued from page 3 Moisture levels at or above average But while the winter generally was mild with no record snowfall, with many wet snows and the heavy snow in September, the region is not doing badly for moisture.

National Weather Service reported on March 24 that Havre had received .54 inches of moisture, with the normal March 24 value .37 inches.

For the calendar year, Havre saw 1.21 inches of moisture by March 24, with the normal value .98 inches.

And for the water year, which runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, figuring in early snowstorms and rain as well, Havre received 3.36 inches of precipitation with the normal value for March 24 2.39 inches.

The region is set for fairly good moisture, depending on the amount and timeliness of precipitation in upcoming months.

And the snowpack for Montana’s river basins also is in good shape.

U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service reported in early March that February delivered above-normal to recordsetting snowfall in mountain ranges supplying water to regional rivers and streams following on the heels of abundant snowfall in January.

New records were set for February snowfall at seven mountain Snowpack Telemetry sites in southern and central Montana that were favored by the unstable north-northwest flow coming from Canada during the first three weeks of the month.

“January and February snowfall took the dismal snowpack totals reported on Jan. 1 along the Montana/Idaho border and improved snowpack to near to above normal on March 1,” said Lucas Zukiewicz, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service water supply specialist for Montana. “This is great news for water users as we approach spring and summer.”

That put snowpack totals in all river basins across Montana near- to above-normal for March 1.

And that continued through the month.

The March 24 map showed the St. MaryMilk basin at 126 percent of normal for snow water equivalent with the Sun-Teton-Marias basin at 123 percent.The lowest levels March 24 were 101 percent of average snow water equivalent for the Lower Clark Fork basin and 100 percent for the Madison.

Impacts of COVID unknown But regardless of the weather, ag producers will have to face the impacts of the novel coronavirus 2019 pandemic.

Montana’s U.S. senators were already fighting by mid-March what they called one impact — a severe drop in cattle futures.

Montana’s Sens. Jon Tester, a Democrat, and Steve Daines, a Republican, were among a list of senators sponsoring a bipartisan bill March 20 to help cattle producers deal with the price swings.

After the pandemic started, beef markets saw the steepest decline in 40 years, a

release from Tester’s office said, with most prices dropping roughly $30 per hundredweight.

“Because of this crisis, beef prices are floundering and our family-operated ranches are struggling to meet their bottom lines,” Tester said in the release. “If we don’t act quickly to stabilize cattle markets we’re going to see more and more corporate consolidation in agriculture as independent producers are no longer able to compete.

This bill will help provide Montana ranchers the security they need to get through the year — and this pandemic — with the tools to stay in business.”

Daines said in a release he held a call with Montana ag groups including the Montana Stockgrowers Association, Montana Farm Bureau, U.S. Cattlemen’s Association, Montana Grain Growers Association, and other leaders in Montana ag to discuss the situation before sponsoring the bill.

“This coronavirus has only worsened market conditions and it is critical that we provide the necessary support for Montana ag,” he said in a press release. “Montana ranchers need relief quickly while we continue to work on the long-term issues with market competition.”

A n d t h e A m e r i c a n Fa r m B u re a u Federation pledged that U.S. agriculture would work to make sure food was on the shelves during the pandemic, but expressed concerns about trucking, price manipulation and immigrant labor.

“America’s farmers and ranchers will be with you every step of the way, doing all that we can to help you win this fight and to ensure the health, safety and prosperity of all America,” Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall wrote in a letter to Perdue in midMarch.

But Duvall said in a post on the American Farm Bureau Federation website that restrictions on visas could be a problem with that.

“The decision to halt visa application processing in Mexico will restrict the number of immigrant workers being allowed to enter the country,” Duvall said in he post.

“Under the new restrictions, American farmers will not have access to all of the skilled immigrant labor needed at a critical time in the planting season. This threatens our ability to put food on Americans’ tables.”

In his letter to Perdue, Duvall also expressed concern about price manipulation, including beef pricing manipulation, and also about problems with access to seed, fertilizer and crop protection tools and social distancing and other practices impacting various forms of agricultural processing plants.

Duvall said Farm Bureau is also requesting that the current Federal Motor Carrier S a f e t y Ad m i n i n i s t ra t i o n E m e rge n cy Declaration waiver to hours of service for food transportation be expanded to address the full agricultural supply chain.

Havre was also much above-average for temperatures this past winter, though again, not record-setting. From Dec. 1 to Feb. 29, the average daily high was 24.3 degrees, which was over six degrees above average. The record for the warmest Havre winter was all the way back in 1930 when the average daily high was 31 degrees.

So, after a pair of brutal winters in 2018 and 2019, both of which set or approached many different records, the 2019-2020 winter was very different.

“It was a relatively mild winter for Havre,” Jackson said. “Probably because of the cold, snowy fall, it may have seemed a little worse, but, for the actual winter, it was definitely on the end of the spectrum where it was pretty mild.”

Fall did make a difference, too. The incredible snowstorm on the final weekend of September, combined with plenty of snow and cold in October and November, makes it seem as though it’s been a very long winter in Havre. And in fact, because of that storm, and the snowy fall that followed, even with a drier than normal winter, Havre is still sitting well above normal for seasonal snowfall.

According to the NWS in Great Falls, as of March 16, Havre had received 63.7 inches of snow for the season. The normal inseason total was listed at 31.2 inches, while the record for seasonal snowfall on March 16 was set in 2018 at 79.8 inches. The record for an entire season is still 93.3 inches.

In comparison to what Havre has experienced this season, Chinook has received

And while snowfall has seemed to have plagued Havre for seemingly ever, since that storm in September means it has snowed in seven consecutive months, according to Jackson, residents of Havre,

t h e H i - L i n e, o r a nyo n e i n M o n ta n a , shouldn’t put their shovels and snowblowers away just yet.

“It’s not unusual to see snowfall in Havre for nine months of the year,” Jackson said. “I think it feels unusual this season because of the snowstorm at the end of September. That was a lot of snowfall for

April 2020

that time of year. But it’s not unusual to see plenty of snow in March and April, and even sometimes May. In parts of Montana, we see snow in June and August too, so what we’re seeing this season isn’t uncommon at all.”

Spring, according to Jackson and NOAA, which recently released its three-month spring outlook, won’t likely be uncommon in Havre either.

For the months of April, May and June, NOAA is predicting most of Montana, including Havre and all of north-central Montana, has an equal chance of being above- or below- average for temperatures and precipitation, with April being the most likely to be below-average for temps and above-average for precipitation.

With warmer temperatures surely to come, following weather also becomes a concern all across Montana and while a large swath of Montana wasn’t listed as a concern, NOAA did list a portion of northcentral Montana, including the Milk River Valley, as having a minor to moderate risk for spring flooding.

In other words, when it comes to spring, Havre, the Hi-Line and much of north central Montana should brace for normal according to Jackson.

“I think that’s the key, we should expect a typical Montana spring,” Jackson said.

“It will get warm, then cold, then warm again, and that trend will probably continue well into May. We’ll see snow and rain as well. In spring especially, you really see the extremes here in Montana.”
