Last week (Monday, April 3rd, 2023), Casper had a record breaking amount of snowfall. As a matter of fact, it destroyed the previous record that had been standing for forty-one years.
It was a rough winter across the Northland as we've seen some historic snowfall and the damage it can create. Across the area, homeowners suffered losses when garage roofs collapsed due to the weight of the snow. I personally know two people who had this happen to them.
It's a record that will likely not be broken anytime soon. Casper, Wyoming just exceeded their largest one-day snowfall record and it happened in April. There's video to show what the aftermath is like, too.
Big Stone County is located in West Central Minnesota. Highway 12 runs through it, and if you've ever taken Highway 12 out to Aberdeen South Dakota stretches of 12 are often long and desolate. The Big Stone County Sheriff's Office recently took to social media to 'explain' why road crews weren't making progress on area roads. The picture that they shared blew my mind. Look at that pile of snow compared to the plow.
You're gonna need more than a shovel to deal with this if you live in the Utah town that's already had over 500 inches of snow fall and there's more headed their way.
There's a positive aspect to the recent historic blizzard that churned across the northern part of America. A bald eagle received a free comfortable blanket of snow as a nest cam video revealed.
