Greta: the northern plains blizzard the week before Easter, 2022, link here. It appears this story was updated, Friday, April 15, 2022, at approximately 9:00 a.m. meaning there is yet a bit of snow totals to yet to updated for this storm.
The storm that started in the Pacific Northwest rolled over the Rockies and blasted into the Northern Plains early Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
Bismarck got 10 inches of snow on Tuesday alone, shattering the city's April 12 record of 3 inches set in 1991, and the city narrowly missed another record on Wednesday.
The storm also left a trail of snowfall records from the Pacific Northwest to Montana, according to AccuWeather. Billings, Montana, on Tuesday had its snowiest April day in 67 years.
Bismarck as of early Thursday had received a storm total of 17.5 inches of snow -- coincidentally the exact same amount as during the devastating April 1997 blizzard. A bit more snow fell throughout the day Thursday, but less than an inch of accumulation was expected in southern North Dakota, with 2-3 more inches in the north, according to the National Weather Service.
Fargo, which had escaped the blizzard, was expected to get an inch or two of snow.
Other storm totals as of Thursday afternoon included 17 inches in Williston, 18 in Watford City, 18.4 in Dickinson, 22 in Glen Ullin and McClusky, 22.5 in New Salem, 24 in Richardton and Hazen, 26 in Dunn Center, 26.5 in Hebron and 36 in Minot.
From another report (https://www.foxweather.com/extreme-weather/north-dakota-historic-blizzard-horses-snow-ice), apparently these horses survived. A reader pointed out that the "barn" was, in fact, a covered, 3-wall shed.
