More snow fell across the Northern Plains over the weekend. According to the National Weather Service, Thief River Falls had 11 inches of snow in this latest event, Crookston, Minnesota had 9.5 inches of snow, Grand Forks, North Dakota had four to five inches of snow, Jamestown, North Dakota had four inches of snow and Devils Lake, North Dakota had 3.5 inches of snow. World Weather Incorporated Senior Agricultural Meteorologist Drew Lerner says the snow event didn’t do much to help with current snow pile. “The one thing probably in our favor is that we may see some short-term bouts of warmer weather periodically as we go through the balance of winter. That can help whittle down some of the snow.” Lerner says there will be more shots of cooler air coming into the Northern Plains. “The constant bouncing around from the warm to the cold and back again could bring more snow to the region. The concern about spring flooding continues to rise. I don’t think we’ll lose the majority of the snow pack until we get to the snow melt season.”
