As much snow as the Havre area has seen in an unusual fall, this region probably haven't seen anything yet. Though the Winter Solstice officially begins Saturday, Havre and surrounding areas, as well as much of central Montana, have seemingly already been locked in winter's snow grip since the end of September, and therefore, long-standing records have fallen or were threatened, said Jane Fogleman of National Weather Service in Great Falls. "When we talk about snowfall in a...
