Yoo hoo, y'alls....I just learned that Fargo, ND, set a record snowfall for one month! At 12:30 p.m. today, Fargo had received 85.09 cm of snow in December, which broke the record for one month's snowfall set in 1927.
The national weather service guy figures that'll be it for Fargo this month even though there's one more day to go. Grand Forks might get some more, but not Fargo.
How does that compare with wot you-alls got in one month up there?
The rural Cass County snowmobilers are ecstatic even as they shovel....
We got a measley 40cm in the 3 or 4 days leading up to Christmas, but central Canada and the West really got hammered, and hundreds if not thousands of Canadians spent their Christmas Eve and day stranded in airports across the country.
ReplyDeleteVancouver, whose winters usually consist of a few days of flurries in January followed by the appearance of the daffodils in February, got hammered with record (for them) snowfalls.
So nothing near 85 impressive cms in one month (I believe we got over a metre in Moncton one month last year but wouldn't swear to it in church) but it's all relative, as I'd trust a North Dakotan to weather 85 cms before I'd trust a Vancouverite to weather 35cm!
God Bless North Dakota! They can handle proper winters! Just as well really. North Dakota winters are the fiercest EVER!
ReplyDeleteSnow? SNOW? Don't talk to me about snow. We got tons of it just before Christmas, and a couple of days ago we got a whole day of torrential rain and 10C temps (which = wet basement) and then two, yes TWO, horrible windstorms taking trees out and knocking down electricity lines.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours.... I'm off to OlderSon's house to see the New Year in, will be back home on New Year's Day.
We have been having the big melt here in Ontario. After about 60 cm, the sun came back and the warm air with it. The flood started in the streets but the freeze came. Skating anyone?
