About 8 inches of snow was recorded Sept. 30, 2013, at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park.

PARKS — The first serious bout of winter-like weather has temporarily closed Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road today at The Loop on the west side of the park.

Weather conditions along the higher elevations of the Going-to-the-Sun Road today have included very windy conditions — 30-40 mph at Big Bend — slush and icy conditions on the road, cloudy and limited visibility, and snow accumulations of more than 8 inches at Logan Pass.

Camping conditions suck. Rich Landers, Outdoors.

So, are we skipping fall and going directly to winter? Are you ready for some snow?
