| Episode Narrative | A Colorado Low took shape over northeast Colorado on Monday morning (30th), then tracked slowly to the northeast, reaching the arrowhead of Minnesota by Wednesday morning (April 1st). As the low intensified on Tuesday morning, north-northeast winds became rather gusty, and made travel almost impossible. Nearly two feet of snow fell over central Wilkin County (MN). Snowfall amounts greater than a foot were very common along and south of Interstate 94 in North Dakota and Highway 10 in Minnesota. The snow had a very high moisture content, with over 2 inches reported over central Wilkin County. This storm, in combination with the other March storms, brought two new monthly records to the Fargo-Moorhead area. The snowfall total, 28.1 inches, broke the previous record of 26.2 inches set in 1997. The precipitation total, 4.62 inches, broke the previous record of 2.83 inches set in 1882. No travel was advised across most of the warning area. Many schools also closed on the 30th and 31st. For several counties, this winter storm event did not end until early on May 1st. |
