The overnight low was 60 degrees, which is the warmest March night recorded in Fargo-Moorhead by 12 degrees.
StormTRACKER Meteorologist John Wheeler looks at more changes to the pattern.
Climate change is found when the frequency and intensity of these weather extremes change.
Our region does have some potential to be headed into a spring and summer of warmer and drier than average weather.
The temperature sensor at Hector International Airport topped off at 70 degrees Monday afternoon.
March weather in our region is more often of the winter sort than spring-like, present year excluded.
Specific snow measurements for the storm included 126 inches at Sugar Bowl, 119 inches at Boreal and 116 inches at Soda Springs, all in the higher elevations of the mountains above Lake Tahoe.
Lake-effect snow occurs when frigid air blows across large areas of unfrozen water.
Snow showers can produce relatively small areas of intense snow, sometimes accumulating several inches.
Mostly, this is a minor inconvenience that some people love to complain about for a few days until they've gotten used to the switch.
