Snow becomes a common occurrence, especially in the mountainous areas, though it can also affect the prairies. Rainfall decreases but can still be present, particularly in the western regions.
Compared to
October, November sees a considerable shift towards winter, with shorter days, lower temperatures, and the presence of snow and ice. The landscapes transform, shedding the colors of autumn and adopting the more muted tones of winter.
Tourism slows down in November, reflecting the shift in weather and the approach of winter. Outdoor activities become more limited, though winter sports begin to emerge as possibilities, depending on snow conditions. The natural beauty of Montana persists, but with a colder and more subdued character.
