Another Spring Gut Punch: ND Snowfall Totals

Another Shot of Spring Snow

Here we are in the second half of April, and we are still talking about snowfall totals. Yes, I know, April or even May snow isn't unusual for where we live. I've lived in North Dakota for most of my life, but what makes it difficult to swallow is when we have already been teased with numerous warm summer-like days, and then it flips like a light switch.

That was the case the last couple of days, where Bismarck experienced temps in the mid 70s, and then back to winter. The good news. We have numerous warmer days coming our way late in the weekend into early next week, and we can get back to that spring vibe. Even summer-like with temps in the 70s again.

The Latest Snowfall Reports

It looks like a swath of snow from southwest North Dakota extending to the Devils Lake region saw the highest snowfall totals, but nothing that won't melt in a day or two. We officially received 2.2 inches of snow in the Capital City, according to the National Weather Service in Bismarck. By the way, we are now over 54 inches of snow for the year, which is a little above average. Here are some other totals we received.
