  1. North Dakota has so much snow in areas that just a bit of wind can cause a blizzard and shut down roads. Just about every week 29 and 94 are closed for a day or two.

  4. Normal seasonal snowfall in Grand Forks ND is 48.4″ of which 3.9″ falls in April. This season they are up to 56.5″ with 8.4″ in April and 17.0″ in March. It gets heavier further south. Fargo ND has seen 65.8″ with 6.9″ in April and 23.3″ in March. There are totals near 80″ in parts of SD and MN. Also it has been colder than normal. Grand Forks has averaged 12 F deg below normal since March 1st.

    It looks likely to turn much warmer next week. All this snow in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana and southern parts of the prairies will melt, as temperatures soar into the 70s or even 80s F (maybe closer to 55-60 away from the border). Not much if any rain with that but it will lead to flooding, and longer term with heavy snow over higher ground in Montana and Wyoming, the Missouri River may have a long flood episode in May and June. Probably the usual problems in southern Manitoba also, as the Red and Assiniboine go mega-ice-jam with all the water trying to get to Lake Winnipeg.

    U have been warned.

    1. Any day now should be floods.

      North Dakota is used to spring flooding.

      What’s california going to do when 30 ft of snow melts?

    2. March temperatures across most of North America were 1.6 degrees below “normal”.

    3. Winnipeg has done its usual ostrich routine on spring flooding and has to be alerted to the problem by the much sharper forecasting folks in North Dakota. Once a year, they get reminded that the Red River drains north because the elevation gradient declines and that all that snow south of Winnipeg they don’t really dodge, they get it back in the Red River.

      The older I get, the more I think Louis Riel and the Metis got the shaft and that Winnipeg’s decrepit state of infrastructure (Highway 75 to the border looks like Beirut after shelling) and flood theatre is the result.

  5. 1997 all over again. Thank God for climate change thst will turn the prairies into desert. But it’s taken its time to get here.

  6. Just think, one of these years that snow is just gonna keep on keepin on. Year after year. H/T; Brian Zinchuk and the historical record.

  7. Yes, The Red is going to flood.

    Here in Minneapolis-Saint Paul we had our 3rd Snowiest Winter, only 9″ (22.5 cm) below the all time record. if the snow storm you saw in the video was 100 miles farther south, we would have hit the record. We got rain instead.

    We normally hit 50F (10C) at least once by March 1. It did not get to 50F until April 1. The weather pattern has changed this week, and we are going to hit 60F tomorrow; and then 70F (21C) and 80F (27C) these next few days.

        1. If the ground is dry last fall, it will absorb moisture. That’s why the flood of the century happened, the ground was soaked the fall prior and we had record snow levels.

    1. … and bear in mind that the region of CA STILL suffering “drought” according to this FAKE drought website … is the region around Lake Shasta … California’s largest reservoir.

      https://shasta.uslakes.info/Level/

      Look at the Lake’s 2023 graph! OMG! It’s near vertical … and the lake is only 22feet from 100% full … to the TOP … and the snowmelt hasn’t even started. And Mt. Shasta has record breaking snow.

      So what exactly constitutes a ‘drought’ for the FAKE Drought Monitor? What insane, irrelevant, data and metrics determine “drought” for this FAKE global Warmist shill ?

      1. Who controls the drought statistics? If it’s Newsom, that explains the discrepancy: state sponsored disinformation.

        1. Start here: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/About/WhatistheUSDM.aspx

          What agencies or organizations are responsible for the USDM?
          The Drought Monitor has been a team effort since its inception in 1999, produced jointly by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The NDMC hosts the web site of the drought monitor and the associated data, and provides the map and data to NOAA, USDA and other agencies. It is freely available at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.

          .unl is the University of Nebraska – Lincoln This university is the big university in NE. It has the Cornhusker sports teams.

      2. I was always under the impression that a lot of CA was natural desert, always dry.

    1. rely on Duffs ditch , once called a folly .

      some California ski resorts have topped 800 inches

  10. As I flew home earlier this week from LA to Oakland … I had a nice window seat to observe the snow capped mountains. No … not the Sierra Nevada … as I was sitting on the left hand side of the plane. I was looking West … not East. The snow capped mountains were above Santa Barbara … the San Rafael and the Sierra Madre mountains … covered in SNOW!!! I’m a 67 year old, 4th generation native Californian, and I’ve NEVER seen that … EVER … before.

    An amazing sight … esp. during … “California’s neverending WORST drought in the HISTORY of CA”

    Oh … and PS … ALL of the mountains surrounding LA were covered in snow. All of them … LOTS of snow.

  13. Meanwhile in Ontariowe, electricity is still being restored. The first ice storm started on Jan 4th 1998, this one occurred on April 5th. In a normal year the snow and freezing rain ends in March and the amount is negligible.

    Hydro One serves all of rural Ontario. Of their 1.5 million customers, 238,000 were without electricity in a wide band (approx. 300miles long and 150miles wide) that started at Georgian Bay and ended at the Quebec border.
