So how does, at this point in the winter, the spring flood threat compare to other years at this point?
Snowfall from fall through Dec. 31 in Fargo was 34.1 inches, the ninth snowiest on record. The 32.3 inches at Grand Forks ranks as fourth snowiest. Of course, the fall has already been very rainy before the snow. The 10.99 inches of total precipitation (rain and melted snow) since Sept. 1 in Fargo ranks as the third wettest since 1881. Owing to a huge September rainstorm, this is Grand Forks' wettest September through December period at 14.07 inches.
So certainly the stage is set for a significant spring flood. The ground is wet and there is a base of moisture-laden snow sitting on the ground. However, the severity of the flood cannot be determined at this point. Additional heavy, wet snow would obviously make the outlook worse, as would a rapid melt or rain during the melting. On the other hand, a mild, dry late winter and a slow melt could lessen the concern greatly.
