TRIP FROM FLA. TO MONTANA

So not only is this forum a wealth of RV info, now we get to see if anyone has a crystal ball to predict weather over a year out:-)

I travelled from the Florida Panhandle to Montana two years ago. We went in early May and saw a little snow in the upper elevations, but the roads were all clear. I've seen 18 inches of snow fall on Memorial day, so nothing is guaranteed.

Depends on what you consider free of snow and ice and where you are going. The interstates will probably be clear in late March, unless there is a late storm. The higher elevation roads probably not until late April. Some of the access roads to the national parks not until Mid May. The highest roads (Going to the Sun in Glacier, Beartooth Highway) Don't open fully until Memorial Day for the Beartooth and late June/Early July for Going to the Sun. Even then, open doesn't mean snow or Ice free. The smaller roads, who knows. I know of a couple of roads where winter doesn't surrender until August and returns in early September. You have to watch the weather and know there is no one size fits all for clear roads.

THE FORUM IS BEING ATTACKED TODAY.

Late April to early May to be safe. Sometimes sooner and sometimes later. You just have to watch the weather when you are traveling. Depending on where in Montana you are going, the interstates will always be clear and may only require you waiting a day or so to finish your trip.
