Weekend Blizzard Drops Up to Seven Inches Across ND, MN

A weekend blizzard swept through eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota, bringing gusty winds and several inches of snow, according to Grand Forks National Weather Service Meteorologist Dan Riddle. Snowfall totals varied across the affected area, with Grand Forks recording 4.7 inches. “It seems to be an average of probably three to upwards of probably seven inches of snow across the area that got hit, seven inches being maybe more common down in the south,” Riddle explained. Temperatures remain cold, but a clipper system and slightly warmer air are expected to bring highs near freezing in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota on Tuesday. Another light snow system is possible on New Year’s Eve, with about an inch of snow expected.
