More Global Warming Hits North Dakota: Major Storm Resets Winter for the Dakotas

The Minot Daily News is reporting:

Saturday was a beautiful day over much of North Dakota. Sunday brought with it a warning that Saturday's sneak peek at spring was about to become a poke in the eye.

By early Monday morning, "no travel" advisories had been issued for much of the western and central portions of the state. Snow was piling up rapidly on roadways, sidewalks and patios that had been free of the white stuff a few hours earlier.

Minot Public Schools called off classes for the day shortly after 5:30 a.m. Monday. The Minot Air Force Base told non-essential personnel to stay home. Sheriff's departments in Williams, Divide, McKenzie and Renville counties were among the growing list advising no travel. Most motorists couldn't get out of their driveways anyway. Those who did quickly discovered why travel was difficult.

And so it goes.
