A severe storm blanketed the valley with three to six inches of snow driving the mercury to zero at sunrise in Dillon. The system followed a six hour hail storm with lingering travel hazards as ranchers prepared for continued winter demand while towns reported warmer northern sections and open roads to Butte and Mill Point.

The Buick roadster of Under Sheriff William Toss was destroyed by fire near Rattle Snake Creek with unknown fire cause.
