The official measured total of 30.1 inches of snow so far this winter season in Fargo Moorhead is a bit below average.
Unless we get a monster spring snowstorm, this will go down as the fourth consecutive winter with below-average snowfall. Last winter’s snow tally was just 27.4 inches. The 2014-15 total was a miniscule 16.0 inches. In 2013-14, total snow was 34.9 inches.
This adds up to a four-year total of 108.4 inches since 1958-1962. The lowest four-year total in history was from 1956 through 1960 of just 62.1 inches, including a record low 9.3 inches in 1957-58.
To be fair, there is still time for more snow this spring. Average April snowfall is 3 inches, and a few times in the past there has been measurable snow in May.
