It was a storm to remember. Fargo set a daily record for snowfall and much of the area saw the biggest snow since March of ’23. Here’s a look at some snowfall totals from the 2 storms combined:
...REPORTED STORM TOTAL SNOW FROM BETWEEN 7AM APRIL 4 TO 7AM APRIL 5 2026.... These reports have been vetted by NWS Grand Forks as representative of event total amounts after snow stopped. Other reports have been received within the heavy snow event, some of which produced higher amounts. However, these reports were not included within this statement because snow was still ongoing. A complete list of local storm reports of snowfall can be found in other summary documents. Reports sorted by highest to lowest reported amount.

Now, we look forward to melting this snow and by next weekend, take a look at the projected temps:
Temps near 60 across much of the state on Sunday. Showers and a few THUNDERSHOWERS for next week….BUT…I’m still a bit concerned for the 14-17th of April as a bigger storm is likely in the northern/central plains…..stay tuned.
