Late winter of 2019 has been a relentless one for North Dakota. The entire state keeps getting waves upon waves of winter storms and many areas have multiple feet of snow on the ground. After getting hit by a huge blizzard in late February and early March that shut down many roads we all hoped that would be the end of it – but that is unfortunately not the case.
North Dakota has already seen more than its fair share of snow in 2019, with drifts and piles multiple feet high in parts of the state - and they're going to be bigger.
Along with the heavy snow, wind gusts will be hitting speeds of 55 mph and add to the already-huge drifts. Thursday is expected to get the most blowing snow, and most travel will not be advised. Visibility will likely be very low.
The blizzard warning will be in effect for most parts of the state until 1:00 AM on Friday, March 15, 2019. Power outages may occur or have occurred in certain areas.
The Red River Valley is expected to haven gotten 6-8 inches of more snow and other parts of the state might have seen freezing rain, too. Conditions will be dangerous in many areas even after the storm and if you can stay home, do so.

The Peace Garden State is no stranger to heavy winter storms. If this one does turn out to make it into the history books as one of the most severe, it’ll join the ranks of these other historic storms.
