How much snow is North Dakota expecting Blizznd???

How can you tell how much snow is due to fall?

Hi there...

I posted in the canadian section

The national center now called the WPC (Weather Prediction Center) is looking at 2-5 inches of snow from Regina area southeast toward Grand Forks Fri aftn-night....

Getting to +3c today or near 40 in Grand Forks .... 39F has been the warmest so far this year and that occurred last Saturday. With the sun and light winds felt very warm....no coat weather for sure.

Blizznd has just proven how the North can take a tropical blooded Southerner and toughen him up!

Those just above freezing days are indeed gloriously warm (almost hot)!

Looks like a good threat for a 2 to 5 inch snowfall from northern ND into northern MN Friday late day into early Saturday....

entering now our 140th consecutive day with snowcover in Grand Forks ND....
not a record....but still pretty long.

For North Dakota into northern Minnesota a powerful winter storm will hit the area Sunday with heavy snowfall....7 to 14 inches possible. Our winter will not end with many sites likely to break records for cold so late into April. For example the latest it has hit 50 in Fargo was April 17th in 1881.....Grand Forks the latest 50 was on April 21st in 1904. We are not forecast to even hit 40 through the next 7-10 days.....so the likelihood of those records being surpassed is very high.

Soil temperatures as measured at NWS Grand Forks ND office are still below 28 degrees down to 60 inches.....and this is expected to be latest spring snowmelt flooding along the Red River in over 100 years.

So this -AO we had/have is certainly causing some record breaking weather in terms of persistent cold. Snow in April isnt uncommon but this cold is.

Going to be a lot of snow melting into the Minnesota River too over the next few weeks. Parts of western Minnesota got hammered by this last storm.

Oh spring, where art thou?

Below is an image of our current snowfall forecast for eastern ND into northwestern MN for this Sunday-Sun night event. Generally 10-13 over much of eastern North Dakota with 7-10 in Minnesota. Will start setting records next week for latest in the season not reaching 50 at several sites. Highest temp in Grand Forks this year has been 42. High today 32 Normal is 52.
