Another winter storm

Fargo people are just pissed because the weather probably interfered with a big LGBQT rally or child grooming event.

The only thing that is pissed is the cop cars back seats in Bismarck.

Fargo isn't my area of operations, but you can get the NWS' probabilities for flooding along the Red and its tributaries here: https://www.weather.gov/fgf/

Montana snowpack (Missouri and Yellowstone headwaters) is right at normal for this time of year. That suggests we will at least see better runoff than we have the past few years.

DO NOT look at the Tropical Tidbits 10:1 precipitation forecast between now and March 13th. Those of you in the Mobridge to Aberdeen areas might shit yourself. It currently is saying 54” of new snow.

Unlikely but Oahe could sure use it.
GFS throws out some crazy numbers once in a while.

 

[Kurtr]

It will melt soon . Good for the ducks

Long range, GFS is decent to let you know "something may be coming", but when it comes to snow amounts beyond 3 days out its a crap-shoot. Last Sunday was a great example of that. Still fun to watch the predictions on precipitation change twice per day.

 

[Paddledogger]

Ya…I se that it has dramatically changed to half the amounts that it showed last night. I sure hope the mountains continue to get good spring snow storms. Need the Yellowstone to run hard for a while.

So much snow pack at my house, no room for more,got enough snow to last until next fall....

Sure looks like the Dakotas are likely to get dumped on over the next 8 days.

I love my wife BUT she cannot get it through her thick skull that the snowplow driver works part time, its not a full time job. LB

Hey @Allen, on the Bis NWS website, in the hourly forecast data area, where is that data pulled from? Computer models or do staff drop it in?

Agreed, starting tomorrow....

First wave comes through my area Monday night,second wave Thursday, let's always scary when they forecast "plow able " snow ,usually ends up a major dump.

Keep us updated on snow falls and storms that are likely to hit.

BBJ, I would just stay down there until mid-April at this point. Looks like day temperatures won't be consistently rising above freezing until after the 20th. We may have another several inches of snow by then too. There is a lot of snow to melt...going to take weeks to unthaw this State.

My wife gives me crap every time my pea brain says “unthaw”.

I checked at noon and we're at 5.5inches in Dickinson with .41 inches of water.

Most of what one sees is the result of what's called the National Blend of Models (NBM for short), and it is literally as named.

To freeze. To change from thawed to frozen.
