It's the strongest blizzard to hit North Dakota in 25 years.
"As the snowfall begins to decline, the wind will be our big challenge for today. The crews are out and appreciate your patience while they work against it to get the roads cleared," the North Dakota Department of Transportation said Thursday morning.
"Oversize travel is not looking good today. Let's give those snow plow drivers space to get their work done. Hoping to see a nice clean map tomorrow."
Interstate 94 remains closed from Jamestown all the way to the Montana border, and Highway 2 is closed for a 240-mile stretch from Devils Lake to Williston. Highway 83 is also shut down from north of Minot almost all the way south to Bismarck.
Some of the highest totals reported so far include a stunning two and a half feet of snow in Minot.
30.5 inches - Glenburn (north of Minot)
30 inches - Minot
28 inches - Norwich
27.5 inches - Lansford
26 inches - Burlington, Dunn Center
24 inches - Sentinel Butte, Richardton
23.5 inches - Dickinson
23 inches - Hazen, Sherwood
22.5 inches - Carpio
22 inches - Grassy Butte, McClusky, Surrey
20 inches - Harvey
18 inches - Hettinger
17.5 inches - Bismarck
The 1997 April blizzard in North Dakota was devastating in its own rights, as it resulted in the deaths of more than 100,000 cattle and two feet of snow blanketed much of western parts of the state, according to the Bismarck Tribune.

You obviously have your take on alleged weather manipulation in all its operating platforms, yet I doubt you've ever monitored the weather in detail and watched NATURAL developments unfolding over many many years.
Some wacky mad scientist is Not pushing any buttons, Earth's atmosphere and weather are too complicated and operate at vast distances and heights and are NOT governed by man.
I also have knowledge of Earth's weather, geology and ancient history.
I'll leave with one comment.
Man's ability to manipulate the weather pale into insignificance compared to Earth's history.
Earth's atmosphere, weather, landscapes and geology has been transformed many times long before mankind appeared, the same processes are in operation today and will be when mankind has wiped itself off the planet
I’m sure they’ve come along way since then, DARPA, geo engineering etc. It is quite odd that Agenda 2030 forecasts all populations living in smart cities, owning nothing and being happy.
In fact every place they have deemed a world heritage site either has had flood, fire or some other calamity: CA, OR, CO, & New South Wales for instance. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that they were dumping snow on spring wheat fields just like they turned off the oil faucet, manufactured a war where most of the potash & wheat comes from, oil/gas as well and intentionally F’d the supply chains not to mention the plandemic and soon to be digital currency slave system. So no it wouldn’t surprise me in the least…..
Apple's and Oranges coexisting together?.
Well I don't think it's about that, they are both fruits.
Winter nights said it right--
The sun is the greater purveyor of weather changes.
P.s.
I woke yesterday to an inch of snow on the ground--bbrrrr.
And the mind has such limitations, clearly, when not in connection with the divine.
