You may have missed them, but there were a few snow flakes in the air on Halloween afternoon in Fargo. So yes, technically that was a trace of snow for the month of October, but yet, it was the first October since 2016 that no measurable snow was recorded in Fargo. That statistic is also… Read more Halloween Flake

Say it ain’t Snow
Many residents of southwestern North Dakota woke up to snow on the ground yesterday. Yes, on May 27. No doubt that is a very late date, even by North Dakota standards to record measurable snow. Yet, that is not the latest snow cover in that part of the state this century. Back on June 6,… Read more Say it ain’t Snow
Cold and Snow?
Today and tomorrow will be very chilly across much of the northern plains. In fact, some flakes in the higher elevations in central and western North Dakota wouldn’t surprise me tonight. In turn, the threat of frost and or a freeze will certainly be possible today through Friday, with northern North Dakota and northern Minnesota… Read more Cold and Snow?

This past Sunday it snowed across much of southern North Dakota. It did not accumulate in Fargo, but it did in Bismarck. Getting snow on April 25 is later than average, but probably not as late as you may think. The average last date of accumulating snow in Bismarck is on April 18, meaning Sunday’s… Read more Snow Season
In Search of Snow

In other words, the snow wasn’t uncommon for us this time of year. What may have seen a bit odd was that… Read more April Snow
Another Miss
Although there was some light snow or flurries in the area yesterday and today, yet another snow storm missed North Dakota to our south. Another one will miss us in the next couple of days and we will see what may develop this weekend. I mention this because these storms missed us to the south,… Read more Another Miss
Light Snow
There is a push of warmer air for the region today. That warm air pushing against the dense cold air that has been in place causes the atmosphere to rise. In turn, we should see some light snow and even some locations with some light rain today. It is another of a series of fairly… Read more Light Snow
Mostly a Miss
Although there will be some exceptions in the southwestern portion of the state and near the North Dakota/South Dakota border, the over hyped weekend storm in the end, will produced little or no snowfall for much of the state of North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Although we will remain below average, the lack of additional… Read more Mostly a Miss
