Winter's last hurrah?

The eastern half of North Dakota got pummeled by winter weather yet again last week. In this screenshot from the ND Roads app taken around 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, nearly all the roads in eastern North Dakota were closed to motorists, and dozens of incidents were reported.

Around 6-8 inches of snow fell in our area, (much less than the 13-20 predicted), and blizzard conditions impacted travel.

Crews worked all day Wednesday and Thursday to clear roads, and as of press time many had reopened.
