Not Spring yet

County still inundated with mounds of snow on first day of spring

This winter will definitely be one we remember. NDSU Extension Service Foster County Agent Jeff Gale reported that the snowpack in Foster County had the equivalent of 3 inches of rain.

Meteorologist Jacob Morse of KFYR-TV reported Monday that Bismarck had 19 inches of snow on the ground, surpassing the previous record set in 1982 by 8 inches. The last time Bismarck had 19 inches of snow on the ground in the spring was on April 3, 1975. Monday marked the 129th consecutive day the capitol city had at least 1 inch of snow on the ground.
