Weather Gods? Or just Gods period.
Red River Valley Weather.
The jet stream cutting the state in half. Cold East Cool West.


This last snow event was an example of the weather Gods not being kind to the Red River Valley. Grand Forks has the worst weather. Of course.

The National Weather Service moved from Hector to Grand Forks in 1997. How did the North Dakota and Fargo politicians let that happen?

The Grand Forks Flood happened in 1997.

Higher Powers out there? Decided for yourself.
Dorgan got it moved - the problem was only 1 meteorologist was willing to move too and so you have almost zero experience in forecasting flooding. GF leadership swallowed their poor forecasting and didn't plan for a higher crest.
