Looks like much of ND ended up with 18-30" of snow.  Highest report so far is Glenburn at 30.5", with 3 NNW Minot at 30"...and it's still snowing.

Record low max temps could be shattered tomorrow, and record lows could be shattered on Saturday morning.  Here is Bismarck, as an example:

- 4/15 record low max 32, set in 2011; forecast high 25

- 4/16 record low 10, set in 1953; forecast low 7

 

April is definitely Big Dog Season for the northern plains.  High elevation areas in and around Denver get clobbered some years too.

Not sure if any stats are available on this...but INL has to be close to their all-time record for consecutive days with 3" of snow cover. 

Snow depth was 3" on 11/12/21, peaked at 26" on 2/22/22, and was still 11" on 4/13/22.  That's 152 consecutive days, and counting.

With chilly temps in the near-term forecast, the streak could continue until April 20th...or even a bit later.

Based on the forecast over the upcoming week, INL will set a new record for consecutive days with 3”+ of snow cover. The streak will definitely hit 158 days, maybe even 160 if everything breaks right. 
 

Previous record was 157 days in 1995-96 (11/10/95 to 4/14/96).

What a crazy couple of years.  Lansing beating Muskegon for two straight years is quite the oddity.

Bold of you to believe snow is over for both those cities

Update: INL has broken the record, as April 20th is the 160th consecutive day with 3"+ snow cover.  Amazingly, the depth has actually increased throughout April...now at 17".  It was 15" on 4/1.

Looks like the streak will end on 4/24, as temps in the 50s with high dews will probably obliterate the snow pack.

Also, a new daily record low of 8F on 4/19; old record was 15F set in 1947.  This is also the 3rd coldest temp on record so late in the season for INL.  The only colder mins were 4F on 4/20/2013 and 6F on 4/23/1909.

Hopefully you can retire in INL.  Seems like the perfect place for you.
