It's a winter wonderland outside! 1.4" of snow fell on Wednesday the 28th which, believe it or not, doubled our seasonal snowfall. Another system quickly arrived late last night and continued into morning, giving us another 4.4" of snow, for a total of 5.8" of snow this week! It's so nice walking and driving in snow again (yes I like driving in the snow) and seeing massive snow piles in all the parking lots. The final snowfall of the week in this parade of storm systems arrives by morning. I expect a 1-2 hour period of freezing rain to start, then another 2" of additional snowfall on top of that before snow ends during afternoon. Though there are some indications we could receive another 4" snowfall if we win the 'golden shovel' yet again this week!
Then for Saturday night and Sunday, I am getting really pumped up for potentially my first North Dakota ground blizzard. In the wake of this system, sustained winds 25-35 mph gusting to 50 mph will move in. With a potential 6-8" of snow on the ground, this could get interesting!!
Then next week it gets unseasonably mild again. Blah.
