Not all county roads may be cleared of snow drifts until Friday, according to an advisory from Park County.

"Due to blowing snow and anticipated new snowfall, county roads are drifting closed faster than the Road Department can keep up," reads a 1:52 p.m. Thursday advisory from Park County. "They are working very hard to keep the roads open but may not be able to clear all roads today. Travel on county roads prone to drifting is not recommended."

People who must travel in areas prone to drifting may not be able to reach their destinations, the county advised.

"Calling the Road Department will not help," reads the advisory. "They are all already plowing. If you become stuck in a drift, call for towing assistance."

Those unable to return home who need shelter for the night can call Park County Emergency Management at 406-823-0823.

"Be aware that setting up a Red Cross shelter may take several hours," reads the advisory.

Livingston locals will crane their necks eastward on Park Street to catch the Jesson family's third annual cattle drive through town around 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Ranchers on horseback, in tractors and UTVs will guide roughly 200 head of black angus cattle down Park Street, right through the heart of Livingston.

"We are just getting them home," said Matt Jesson, who indicated cattle drives on public roads are routine in Montana. “They do it along backroads and highways from Wilsall to Clyde Park. I just happen to have a town on my road."

With the help from others, Jesson will guide his cows roughly 10 miles from leased land off Swingley Road to his property off U.S. Highway 10 for calving season. The trip will take less than three hours.

Livingston locals will yet again crane their necks eastward on Park Street to catch the Jesson family's third annual cattle drive through town around 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15.

Riverfront property is great until a house falls into the water. Preventing such catastrophes is among the goals of a recent study aimed at predicting how the banks of the Yellowstone River are likely to change over the next 100 years. The 2024 Yellowstone River Channel Migration Zone (CMZ) project has identified places in the city and elsewhere in Park County where riverbank areas are likely to be severely eroded during floods. Such areas identified in the study include the area of Livingston HealthCare, 9th Street Island, and the left riverbank from just below Interstate 90 to Mayor’s Landing, among other places. The project report also includes a list of potential measures that could help address problem areas. Read article at link below.
