Does anyone know if it's been a good year for rain fall in Montana around great falls

Craig, a bit away from SW MT, but, the area(s) I hunt in ID had a good snowpack this year and spring rain. Visited a few spots last month where the seep/spring water was barely running last year and it looks like there is good water there this year.

I live about 20 miles southwest of Helena and I can tell you that it's been wetter this year than last but it's been drying out fast the last couple of weeks but overall it's been cooler this year than last. That being said, it looks like elk season will be wetter than normal for the southwestern part of the state.

Great Falls actually had lots of flooding last week from a large rain storm. My brother is working on road construction in the area and said the antlers are growing well this year!
