After a brief reprieve from snow and ice, this area received a blast of the white stuff with Havre receiving nearly six inches of snow in a two-day storm that caused dangerous road conditions and hazardous conditions for anyone outside. After one of the snowiest Decembers on record the area saw a blanket of snow and ice become a near constant feature of the local landscape, but in recent weeks the sheet had been slowly melting as milder weather hit Havre. The National Weather...
From Byron Ophnus Saturday morning, a few scattered flakes of snow fell in Havre. They ceased just as abruptly as they had begun. Looking south a heavy blanket of clouds shrouded the mountains, promising new snow at the hill. The promise was fulfilled.

Snow was falling and continued through early afternoon enhancing conditions that were excellent to begin with. Later in the afternoon the sun shone, ushering an end to...

Inside what I consider to be the best hospitality room each year, a close friend of mine walked up to me and quietly said: "You're going to miss this." The "this" he was referring to, in the moment anyway, was covering the 9C tournament and he isn't wrong. In my humble opinion, there is nothing quite like the 9C tournament, a tournament I've covered for almost my entire time at the Havre Daily, save last year when COVID-19 put me out of commission at the worst possible time....
