| April 2008; railfanning in the snow and sun... |
| April 2008 was the snowiest April the northland has ever seen. Records were shattered with the heavy snowfall. The heaviest snowfall came the first weekend in April (full report and photos here). The snow started falling, and by the time the system moved off to the east, we had received over 30 inches of snow. Just six days later another 14 inches of snow would fall. I was able to get some shots of the M-SUPMIN in Cass Lake from this storm. The last weekend in April saw yet another major winter storm hit the area. Snowfall of 12-16 inches were common with snow drifts exceeding five feet in the open areas and along lakes. Full photo details available by clicking on photos links. |

| April 6th record snow fall event |
| The once-in-a-lifetime major snow storm that hit the northland was featured on its own page. To view the photos and read the lengthy story, click here or the link image below. The photos and video are some of my favorites from the season. If you think you've seen the photos before, you may have as some were featured on WCCO in the Twin Cities and CBS News. By the time the snow stopped falling the area had received over 30 inches. A record setter for not only a single day accumulation, but also well on the way for the April snowfall record which was shattered through three storms. |
