Sprinter is what you get when there is left over weather from Winter and it carries over to the Spring

This will help produce 2 to 3 inches of additional snow before conditions begin to improve. Expect snowpacked and icy roadways and reduced visibility especially along interstate 90 between Billings and Hardin

The warmest readings will be early in the day, then drop or hold steady from that point on

Highs will be mainly in the 30s.  Livingston winds have been gusty overnight to as high as 58 mph, but they will slacken through the morning
