BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Bismarck is on track to beat the seasonal snowfall record.
Rick Krolak, observing program leader at the Bismarck office of the National Weather Service, tells The Bismarck Tribune the average seasonal total is 51.2 inches. The city has already seen 43.5 inches of snow as of Tuesday.
Krolak says it's possible the city could get a record snowfall, but that he can't predict for certain when it could happen.
National Weather Service data show the year-to-date record was set in 2008, with 45.8 inches of snow falling between July and December. The city currently trails the year-to-date record by 2.3 inches.
Krolak says North Dakota has had some unusual systems this season called "Colorado lows," which usually dump a lot of snow in fall or spring.
