The Red River Watershed Management Board is discussing flood mitigation and predictions at its annual conference in Moorhead this weekend.
The Spuds changed their plans from leaving Wednesday to Tuesday because of the weather and were met with a surprise send-off.
Today makes the 104th day below 40, which ranks as the 13th longest stretch of weather continuously below 40 degrees.
Less than a half-inch of snow has fallen on New York this winter.
Strange as it may seem, snow melts much faster on a damp, foggy day than on a sunny day.
Recent television news reports led with statements such as, "In the northeast, wind chills were in the negative 100s."
Wind gusts were measured as high as 66 mph at the Grand Forks and Fargo airports.
The last truly extraordinary cold spell was in late January of 2004 when Fargo reached -36 degrees and Grand Forks got to -39 degrees.
StormTRACKER Meteorologist John Wheeler looks at colder than average weather.
Having a kit likely made a big difference for the many who were stuck waiting for help.
