More than an inch of snow was reported on Monday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and in the mountains of western Montana and central Idaho near Salmon.

The freak July cold front settled over Idaho, Montana and Wyoming in a pattern rarely seen in those states before late August or September. Weather anomaly!
