Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Sunday, October 12, 2025.If you walked downtown this morning, you’d feel the bite of an early winter chill—thanks to a fresh surge of arctic air settling over the valley. The National Weather Service reports that our mountain passes above town could see up to 9 inches of snow as we head into Monday, so keep an eye on travel conditions, especially if you’re planning on heading toward Big Sky or West Yellowstone. And with temperatures dipping, be ready for slick roads and frosty mornings: it’s officially time to dig out those winter coats and consider layering up, even for a quick trip to your favorite coffee shop.Despite the cold, Bozeman’s event calendar is heating up. For families, the Celtic Music event at Valhalla Meadery today promises a cozy afternoon where you can enjoy live tunes and a local spirit—literally and metaphorically. If you’re looking for something hands-on, Bar 3 Bar-B-Q is hosting a Paint & Sip event with a spooky seasonal twist from 4 to 6 p.m.—perfect for embracing the Halloween mood while warming up indoors. Elsewhere in the region, if you’re up for a short drive, the Farm in the Dell Fall Festival in Lewistown offers a classic country celebration, with local food, crafts, and kids’ activities capturing harvest season at its fullest.Looking ahead to Monday, Bozeman will mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day starting with a youth celebration at 3:30 p.m. at the Museum of the Rockies—a great chance for young kids and their families to connect with Native cultures through stories, crafts, and performances. For those looking to stay active as the cold settles in, the Gallatin County Fairgrounds’ Ressler Rink will open for public skating at 11:15 a.m. on Monday—a clear reminder that winter recreation is just around the corner, whatever the weather brings.The weekend’s big buzz, though, was all about the Montana State Bobcats football team, who celebrated a decisive 48-14 victory over Idaho State right here at Bobcat Stadium last night. Rain or shine, the Cats are on fire: with five straight wins, they’re riding high at the top of the Big Sky standings. Quarterback Justin Lamson was electric, throwing and even rushing for touchdowns, and running back Adam Jones exploded for a season-best 173 yards rushing. Defense stepped up, too, holding the Bengals to just 36 yards on the ground and forcing three key turnovers. The Cats take next week off, but fans are already counting down to their next big road test on October 25, when they’ll face Cal Poly.Elsewhere in local sports, the Bobcats are leaving fans hopeful and energized—and judging by the packed stands last night, it’s clear that gameday in Bozeman is more than just an event; it’s a community gathering, a chance to cheer, to connect, and to be a part of something bigger than the scoreboard.There’s little to report in the way of breaking news or emergencies, but with the sudden cold snap, it’s a good reminder to check on neighbors, especially any older residents or those who might need help with winter prep. With leaves falling and skies turning gray, there’s a quiet sense of change in the air—change you can see, and even feel, as Bozeman shifts gears toward winter.So whether you’re out tasting mead, painting pumpkins, or cheering on the Cats, there’s plenty to do and watch right here at home. Stay warm, stay safe, and remember: the heart of Bozeman beats just as strong in the cold as it does under the bright summer sun.This has been Bozeman Local Frequency.
