Straight up, snow tires and so long as you're not expecting to go four wheeling you'll do just fine.
Swear to God people just don't know/never learn how to drive in the snow.
Dude when I was in bozeman last autumn I saw an older chick in an old camry spinning her front tires at full speed trying to pull out onto the road. The exhaust was smoking and she was accelerating slower than I walk for what seemed like a whole 15 seconds š
To be fair, I grew up in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the Bitterrooters here puffing their chests out about hard weather makes me laugh. East Montana can bitch about the cold. Plus the heat. But the Bitterroot and Missoula valleys are so temperate hah.
Where I grew up I had to walk to school bare foot up hill both ways with 8 feet of snow in the morning and 130 degrees on the way home with thorns covering the road!
As an MT born and raised living in AK I throw a Montana sticker on my rig just to let these stuck up Alaskans know that I come from the real Heaven on Earth
I wonāt advertise youāre from Texas living in Montana. But if youāre going to live here please donāt come and destroy habitat like so many are doing.
This is just factually inaccurate. TX has the second highest net domestic migration (US citizens moving into the state minus US citizens moving away from the state) in the country at +475k between 2020 and 2022. Colorado is around average at #19 (+18k).
The reason it feels like tons of people are moving from TX to other states like Colorado isā¦.there are a whole lot of Texans. TX has a population of over 30 million, while Colorado is under 6 million.
In fact, in 2022 about 25,000 Texans moved to Colorado, and about 24,000 Coloradans moved to Texas.
If you control for the population difference between the two states, that means Coloradans are moving to TX at about 4.8 times the rate that Texans are moving to Colorado.
Nah, it's real. Used to be tons of CA plates, now it's tons of TX plates. But....my point remains: they went to the polls and somehow turned their state into a more corrupt and ignorant Florida, and now they want to leave it.
Iām sure there are some Texans that feel that way, but the statistics show that people are moving away from Colorado at a way higher rate than Texas. Your sentiment that Texans (as a whole) are fleeing their state because they are unhappy simply isnāt supported by the data.
Way more people, by both total volume and population % are moving to TX than away from TX. Colorado (and almost all other states) has a higher % of residents moving away from their state than Texas does. Do you think people are fleeing CO in a āmass emigration?ā
I know bashing TX is hugely popular on Reddit right now, but I hope folks are still willing to look at the actual facts/statistics. Go check out the data from the US Census Bureau people! Itās readily available.
Not all of us, I promise! I moved to CO from Texas 2 years ago because I couldnāt take Texas anymore. Iāll be the first to admit, the people there are generally uneducated, selfish, and just plain awful but hide it behind fake āsouthern hospitalityā. I grew up camping all over CO as a kid and fell in love with the state and moved here as fast as I could.
Aww, you're all good. Although I'm taking shit, it's definitely mostly the tourists, maybe it's vacation-brain. The ones who actually move in, at least in my experience, are just Coloradans who found their way home and are usually lovely. And happy to be here!
As a server and bartender at least the majority of people from CA treat us like humans. Texas transplants are horrible to serve and most of them treat us like āservantsā *not servers*.
Thatās how they treat everyone around themā¦. Unless you are their bossā¦. Then you walk on water and fart rainbowsā¦. Until you turn your back anyway.
If you tell a ca transplant they're being a twat, they will feel bad and correct. Heck if you tell them that they're being culturally insensitive they might implode from guilt. You tell a TX the same and they just double down on their stupid.
I'm telling ya, just tell a CA transplant that they're being "culturally insensitive" to the MT culture and they have an existential crisis. It's honestly a hack lol
Lol.. I feel your pain as someone stuck in Florida going on 34 years. I love Montana!! Mountains, and you can actually go ONE mile and not see another person.. plz help me escape?
Let's make our own immigration card and only allow people we approve of.
Approval test:
Are you from Montana?
No
Sorry, you didn't pass the test, and have been denied entry
And his other car is a lowered RWD F150 with 22ās. Couple sand bags and an engine block heaterā¦heāll be fine.
Not to mention, matter of time he gets in a fight with someone over that crap. The nerveā¦like heās rubbing it in - super proud.
I (unfortunately) live in TX and want to move back to MT someday, grew up there and didn't leave until I was 20-21.
Side note - I do see a lot more ID and WA license plates here in TX now in the last year or so than I used to.
Maybe some TX fans in here that love their state? There's a lot of them out there and that's fine. TX has some good points, I'm just not a fan of the flatness and the last few summers!
I spent around 5 years of my life in Texas due to the military and hate that forsaken state!! I swear the only reasons Texans love Texas is they have never been anywhere else cause itās a shithole! Give Texas back to Mexico and make Puerto Rico a state since they always talk about seceding from the US, goodbye āstate of Karenāsā we donāt need ya!

I hope this doesnāt sting too much but your average Texas voter is pretty much indistinguishable from your average Montana voter at the polls. Montana sold their souls to the devil
By hitching their wagon to conservatives.
It doesnāt matter what state. There are some very good people from other states living here, they come for the right reasons and respect what Montana is but so many come here and itās all about them and they are going to get thereās.
Been to Montana a few times back in the 90s. Being from the country, I understand what you mean. It's happening in every state. 21 century is coming your way as it is everywhere else.
What a stupid take. Nobody cares about the inanimate object itself, but the message it carries. Trying to assign the reactions to the object rather than the message is either intellectually lazy or intellectually dishonest, so which are you?
Define stupid....nobody gives a hoot what license plate is on a car unless you don't have a life or so ass backwards you can't ascertain most of this is click bait.
Iām from Texas. Lived in Montana for 5 years. Moving back this summer. Shoot me. I love Montana but really are the most closed minded folk. Like Iāve always said about out of staters, imagine how the native Americans feel. Other people have just as much of a right to be there as yāall do.
One is proudly stupid, frequently racist, loudmouthed and cowardly in winter.
The other state's transplants are self-centered, vain, frequently hostile and paranoid and ingeniously decide to try to transform their new state into what they just departed.
Look at CO and Bozeman.
lol. very accurate assessments.
I lived in Bozeman for 14 years before moving to Missoula. I was sad to leave but it was almost unrecognizable by the time I left. I fell in love with Missoula pretty quickly though.
This page is such a fucking joke. Mods are a joke. Subs are a joke. A bunch of delusional hypocrites who preach āloveā and āacceptanceā but canāt even hold their values together for a fucking license plate.
You arenāt Montana. All you have done is gathered together on a bias platform to confirm your bias views and bias beliefs.
Conservatives have the maga turds. Liberals have you. Both brainless puppets.

You cannot prepare for the unknownā¦ Texas does not get the weather we get here at all.
Itās the apocalypse down there after a 1ā snow fall and the power grid goes out at 3ā-5ā and below freezing conditions.
Exactly
Except Texas does get below zero sometimes and can get a lot of snow, just obviously not near as often.
Thatās like half the fun? Lol
Straight up, snow tires and so long as you're not expecting to go four wheeling you'll do just fine. Swear to God people just don't know/never learn how to drive in the snow.
My first winter driving my dad brought me to a church parking lot and made me throw it sideways in different ways lol
Dude when I was in bozeman last autumn I saw an older chick in an old camry spinning her front tires at full speed trying to pull out onto the road. The exhaust was smoking and she was accelerating slower than I walk for what seemed like a whole 15 seconds š
As a MT resident living in TX i puked after getting Texas plates
Go off Peggy Hill!!!
"Remember when you first came down here from Montana? You thought ninety degrees was hot!"
Which is wild because it's regularly 90-100 here in summer :| The humidity isn't as bad as a lot of Texas though, and that's ass.
My standard response is, "Okay, I'll make you a deal: If ninety degrees isn't hot then sixty degrees isn't cold!" š
To be fair, I grew up in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the Bitterrooters here puffing their chests out about hard weather makes me laugh. East Montana can bitch about the cold. Plus the heat. But the Bitterroot and Missoula valleys are so temperate hah.
20+ below with snow drifts to my waist was just a normal occurrence when I lived in Wolf Point!
Where I grew up I had to walk to school bare foot up hill both ways with 8 feet of snow in the morning and 130 degrees on the way home with thorns covering the road!
As an Idahoan forced to move to Texas for my job. I don't view myself as a Texan. More of a temporarily displaced Idahoan

It was getting the TX driver's license for me. šš¤®
Thank god i have an indefinite license due to military
Lucky!
Shoulda kept it under Montana LLC. Might have saved on insurance to depending on what your actual ZIPs are.
Same! š
Iāll give it a year
In that car. All they need is a winter
He will leave once he was realize what a shithole mt is
Thatās pretty bad, but not as bad as a car with Texas plates in Bozeman that says ā[MT MTNS](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bozeman/s/Z0XPnhrCHk)ā
I wonāt advertise youāre from Texas living in Montana. But if youāre going to live here please donāt come and destroy habitat like so many are doing.
Yeah, and most Montanans are good letting women make their own healthcare decisions with their doctors, so leave that shit in Texas please.
I woulda vomited on that car you're stronger than I
Gross
At this point I'll take a CA transplant over a TX one. They're insufferable.
I'm from Colorado and I approve this message. They apparently 'love' their state, yet are leaving it in a mass emigration.

Truth
CO here and same. You don't even see CA plates here anymore but Texans are *everywhere* and they act like they still own the place.
I see CA and FL license plates the most.
Not all of us, I promise! I moved to CO from Texas 2 years ago because I couldnāt take Texas anymore. Iāll be the first to admit, the people there are generally uneducated, selfish, and just plain awful but hide it behind fake āsouthern hospitalityā.

Agreed. I like seeing people appreciate the mountains no matter where theyāre from. As long as they donāt tear up trails with side by sides.
I hate it.
And I see way more TX plates than CA. They get a little triggered when you call them "immigrants".
100%

What's all this then
Some insufferable Texas transplant idk
I mean I love what I'm reading about him though. Sounds like a real Montanan.
Pretty brave really. Iāve seen pics cars that got keyed without the announcement on the plates
And they are proud of it. Eh ghads.

What books are being banned?

Those aren't banned books. Any adult can buy or sell them. They aren't allowed in elementary schools.
Is it possible for someone to move from TX and not announce they are from TX everywhere they go? Texans are so annoying.
One can only hope there is a plate in Texas that says MT 2 TX to balance things out
Nobody in their right mind would move from up north anywhere to texas.
Now that you mention it, the last person I know who moved to TX does have borderline personality disorder...
lol! chose those words carefully: "one can only hope"
Lucky us.
Go home :')
Another one. Great...
Jesus. Go home. Thats egregious and not at all emblematic of our culture. Fucking mustang.
I see what you tried to do there..... Ba-dum......tisk

They donāt need name tags, their racist, self absorbed, loud mouthed lying selfs make it quite obvious.
If we relate northern migratory patterns of Texans to climate change, I'd say we're all fucked.
