A forest fire in Wharton State Forest,
when discovered at about 9:00 AM EDT on
the 20th, covered about 30 acres in
Waterford Township in Camden County.
The fire, fanned by brisk winds of 20
to 25 mph, spread to 325 acres mainly
in the Camden County part of the state
forest. No homes were in danger.
Wind-whipped embers caused spot fires
east of the Mullica River in Shamong
Township (Burlington County). These
were quickly extinguished. The blaze
was reported to be under control at
9:30 PM EDT on the 20th. The cause of
the fire was not known. It appeared to
have ignited about one mile east of the
raceway on Old Atsion Road. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) had
temporary flight restrictions for three
square miles of airspace around the
fire. The Hammonton Airport was closed so
the fire service could fly its aircraft
in and out unimpeded. No rain since
April 8th, low humidity levels and
sporadic high winds contributed to the
rapid spread of the fire. The
unseasonably dry weather caused the
Forestry Service to declare Stage 1
campfire restrictions in effect, with
no fires on the ground unless they are
in a prepared fire ring.

Numerous reports of golfball size hail
were received as an isolated supercell
storm propagated southeast over
portions of northern Eddy County
during the late afternoon and early
evening hours of the 17th. The swath
of damaging hail began at the Eddy and
Chaves County line nine miles north of

accumulated to depths of eight inches
at some locales along the storm's path.
Traffic along U.S. Highway 285 and New
Mexico Highway 351 was reportedly at a
stand still in the wake of the storm
as hail covered the driving surfaces
and created hazardous driving
conditions.

1600MST
A resident along the Eddy and Chaves
County line, near the intersection of
North 13th Street and Pearson Road,
reported that occasional hen egg to
tennis ball size hail accompanied the
storm. The homestead suffered
"extensive" damage, both structural
and to several vehicles. The hail
was, at times, wind driven by severe
thunderstorm wind gusts. This resulted
in the loss of all northward facing
windows. The roof of the residence was
severely damaged. Crop damage on the
property also was reported to be
"extensive".
Eddy County
9 N Artesia 17 1540MST
Severe thunderstorm winds accompanied
the giant hail at a homestead located
on the Eddy and Chaves County line.
Rural residents estimated the peak wind
gusts to be near 65 MPH. These winds
drove very large hail horizontally
which resulted in the loss of northward
facing windows in the home and in
several vehicles. Significant damage
was not otherwise directly attributed
to the severe winds.
Eddy County

Whites City indicated that golfball
size hail covered the ground. No
significant damage was reported.
Two isolated supercell thunderstorms
resulted in very large hail over the
plains of Eddy County during the late
afternoon and evening of the 17th.
The first storm propagated southeast
out of Chaves County. This storm
slowly moved southeast over portions
of northern Eddy County and resulted
in nearly two hundred thousand dollars
worth of damage to vehicles, homes,
and crops. Due to the storm's slow
movement, hail up to the size of
golfballs persisted for up to half an
hour in some locations. Wind driven
tennis ball size hail produced
"extensive" damage to a farm on the
Eddy and Chaves County line north of
Artesia. The storm eventually weakened
in rural northeastern Eddy County.
Another supercell developed over
southern Eddy County. This storm
resulted in large hail ranging in size
from pennies to golfballs from just
south of the Carlsbad Airport to
Whites City. No significant damage was
reported with this storm.

and central New York ... falling mainly as
rain across much of the area. Rainfalls
totals generally ranged from two to three
inches. The rain, combined with snowmelt,
produced flooding. Roads were closed in
Gorham, Scottsville, Newark, Williamson,
Sodus and Lowville. Basement flooding
was reported in Gorham and Rochester.
Evacuations were necessary in some
locations in Wayne county. The heavy rains
produced slick roads that were blamed for
numerous automobile accidents in Monroe
and Wayne counties. In Murray, Orleans
county, a 50-foot section of the south
bank of the Erie Canal collapsed. In
Ontario county, a Lyons man was treated
for hypothermia after being rescued from
flood waters. The man drove his ATV into
8-10" of water, however the swift current
rolled the four-wheeler over and the rider
was swept away. Six area creeks and rivers
reached flood stage. Oatka Creek at Garbutt
was above its 6' flood stage for 48 hours
and crested at 7.03 feet. Black Creek at
Churchville was above its 6' flood stage
for 51 hours and crested at 7.76 feet.
Tonawanda Creek at Batavia was above its
8' flood stage for 5 hours and crested at
9.10 feet and at Rapids was above its 12'
flood stage for 48 hours and crested at
13.78 feet. The Black River at Watertown
was above its 10' flood stage for 53 hours
and crested at 10.93 feet. The Genesee
River at Avon was above its 33' flood stage
for 21 hours and crested at 33.46 feet.

Deep low pressure over Pennsylvania brought
copious amounts of precipitation to western
New York. West of the Genesee River the
precipitation fell mainly as heavy, wet
snow with eight to twelve inches reported
across much of the area. Locally heavier
amounts of up to two feet were reported
along the ridges southeast of Lake Erie.
Numerous accidents were blamed on the
spring snowstorm. Tens of thousands were
without power as the heavy snow downed
trees, limbs and power lines. In Chautauqua
county, the weight of the snow damaged
vineyards, breaking vine posts and roots.
In Stockton, the weight of the snow caused
a barn to collapse, killing 16 head of
cattle. In Niagara Falls, a large inflated
golf dome collapsed under the weight of the
snow. Two workers were injured. They had
been inside checking for snow and water
damage when the dome collapsed.

Deep closed upper level low and associated
surface low passed directly over northwest
North Carolina on April 2nd. The surface
low deepened significantly as it exited and
headed northeast. Unusualy strong low level
winds developed in the deep, cyclonic flow
in the storm's wake. The strongest wind
gusts topped out in the 50 to 56 kt range
for at least a one hour time frame. The
winds caused widespread (mostly tree and
powerline) damage over the favored high
(cross-mountain flow) wind locations. Wet
soil conditions likely aggravated the tree
damage. There were also a few reports of
structural damage (mainly roof and siding
damage).
The injury in Wilkes Co. occurred in
Traphill. A female was brusied and
scratched when wind jerked open a door
to her home as she turned the door knob
to exit. The door being blow open quickly
by the wind caused her to fall into a

The level of Devils Lake was frozen around
1448.00 feet MSL over the winter. After the
ice came out and the spring runoff
occurred, the lake level rose to about
1448.40 feet MSL. Water seepage occurred
along the roadbed of North Dakota Highway
20 at three locations near St. Michael (on
the Spirit Lake Nation reservation). This
highway has acted like a dam to the rising
waters of Devils Lake, which it was not
designed for. If the road caved away, the
rushing water would threaten about 15 homes
in that area. Work on the Devils Lake
outlet to the Sheyenne River was about 80
percent complete, and was expected to be
operational by July 2005. Water continued
to flow through the Jerusalem Coulee (from
Devils Lake) and into Stump Lake. The lake
had reportedly risen about 8.5 feet MSL in
the past year, closing multiple Nelson
county roads. Several farmsteads were also
threatened by the rising water levels.
Nelson county officials issued an Emergency
Declaration on April 19th. County officials
were also concerned about response times
for emergency vehicles in rural areas
around Stump Lake.

By the end of March, the only snow left to
melt was along the Canadian border, mostly
from Langdon (ND) to Roseau (MN). The melt
rate had been nearly ideal, with warm
daytime highs and nights below freezing.
Some late season snowstorms had hit the
Canadian border region with some
substantial snowfall amounts. Snow depths
ranged around 20 inches at Langdon (ND),
15 inches at Pembina (ND) and Hallock (MN),
and 12 inches at the Agassiz National
Wildlife Refuge (MN). The snow water
equivalent measured at the Agassiz Refuge
was about 2.5 inches. As warmer
temperatures occurred in early April,
there was still a good amount of moisture
left to work into the river system across
northeast North Dakota and northwest
Minnesota. The Red River started rising in
the Oslo area in late March. The river
crested around 34.2 feet between April 4th
and 5th, then fell back below its moderate
flood stage around April 8th. Although no
flood warnings were issued for the Park or
Forest Rivers, they were both high and
flowing fast. Two people tried to cross a
flooded bridge at the Park River park, and
had their pickup truck swept away. The two
occupants safely got out of the truck and
the floodwaters. A suspicious death
occurred along the Forest River near
Warsaw. A 43 year-old man from the Warsaw
area drove around several road barriers
and into the flooded Forest River. His body
was found near his car as the river
receded. Due to the suspicious nature of
this death, and the fact that the man
ignored several road barriers, this death
was not counted as a direct storm-related
death.

A strong area of low pressure moved
northeast from Texas to western
Pennsylvania during the early morning
hours of the April 2nd. Heavy wet snow
fell across Northeast Ohio during the
day on the 2nd, and strong winds of up
to 50 mph were reported. The wet snow, in
combination with strong winds, brought down
many trees and power lines causing hundreds
of thousands of homes to lose power.
Blizzard like conditions were observed at
times. The snow continued through the
evening of the 2nd, and tapered off during
the early morning hours of the 3rd. As the
low pulled away, strong north to northwest
winds developed behind the low center
allowing lake effect snow to intensify
around midday on the 3rd. Gusty winds to
30 mph were reported across northeast Ohio.
Officially, 6.8 inches of snow fell at
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
with 8.5 inches at Youngstown-Warren
Regional Airport and 8.0 inches at

An unprecedented late winter storm
affected portions of northern Ohio. A
low pressure system over southeastern
Ohio moved northeast across western
Pennsylvania and into western New York
State on the April rd. Precipitation
associated with this low began as rain
in northern Ohio early on the 23rd. The
rain quickly transitioned to wet, heavy
snow by early afternoon. As the low
moved through western New York State,
it turned northwest and eventually
became centered to the north of Lake
Erie by late on the 23rd. Wintry
precipitation continued into the 24th
across north-central Ohio as bands of
snow rotated around the low pressure
center. Lake Erie helped enhance these
bands and snowfall rates at times were
well in excess of an inch per hour. The
snow began to taper off during the
early morning hours of the 25th. During
this event, heavy wet snow accumulated
on trees and power lines causing
several hundred thousand homes to lose
power. Tree damage, especially across
the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, was
substantial. Hundreds of accidents were
also reported during this event as the
wet, heavy nature of the snow made it
hard to treat roadways. Officially,
12.4 inches of snow fell at Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport. Other
snowfall reports included; 25.3 inches
in North Royalton/Broadview Heights
(Cuyahoga County), 19.8 inches at
Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County) and 21.8
inches at Thompson (Geauga County). The
heavy snow fell as far south as Ashland
and Richland Counties with 10.1 inches
measured officially at Mansfield Lahm
Airport. This snowstorm is believed to
have produced the latest one inch
snowfall ever in northern Ohio.

A low pressure system developed in the
Gulf Of Mexico and rapidly intensified
as it moved north to northeast. The low
passed over the Appalachian Mountains
and moved slowly west of the local area
during Saturday and Sunday, April 2nd
and 3rd. Widespread heavy rain along
with embedded heavy showers and
thunderstorms occurred with this
system. Storm Total Rainfall amounts
ranged from 1.50 to 3.25 inches.

5 days earlier, another low dumped
1.50 to 3.00 inches of rain across the
region as it moved north to northeast
along the eastern seaboard. These wet
antecedent conditions primed the local
area for additional widespread
flooding with 3 to 6 inches of rain
occurring in less than 5 days.
Heavy rain caused widespread urban
flooding. Most small streams and
rivers overflowed their banks. In
addition, high wind gusts from 46 to
57 mph, associated with heavier
showers, downed many trees.

A forest fire in Wharton State Forest,
when discovered at about 9:00 AM EDT on
the 20th, covered about 30 acres in
Waterford Township in Camden County.
The fire, fanned by brisk winds of 20
to 25 mph, spread to 325 acres mainly
in the Camden County part of the state
forest. No homes were in danger.
Wind-whipped embers caused spot fires
east of the Mullica River in Shamong
Township (Burlington County). These
were quickly extinguished. The blaze
was reported to be under control at
9:30 PM EDT on the 20th. The cause of
the fire was not known. It appeared to
have ignited about one mile east of the
raceway on Old Atsion Road. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) had
temporary flight restrictions for three
square miles of airspace around the
fire. The Hammonton Airport was closed so
the fire service could fly its aircraft
in and out unimpeded. No rain since
April 8th, low humidity levels and
sporadic high winds contributed to the
rapid spread of the fire. The
unseasonably dry weather caused the
Forestry Service to declare Stage 1
campfire restrictions in effect, with
no fires on the ground unless they are
in a prepared fire ring.

Deep low pressure over Pennsylvania brought
copious amounts of precipitation to western

rain across much of the area. Rainfalls
totals generally ranged from two to three
inches. The rain, combined with snowmelt,
produced flooding. Roads were closed in
Gorham, Scottsville, Newark, Williamson,
Sodus and Lowville. Basement flooding
was reported in Gorham and Rochester.
Evacuations were necessary in some
locations in Wayne county. The heavy rains
produced slick roads that were blamed for
numerous automobile accidents in Monroe

Deep closed upper level low and associated
surface low passed directly over northwest
North Carolina on April 2nd. The surface
low deepened significantly as it exited and
headed northeast. Unusualy strong low level
winds developed in the deep, cyclonic flow
in the storm's wake. The strongest wind
gusts topped out in the 50 to 56 kt range
for at least a one hour time frame. The
winds caused widespread (mostly tree and
powerline) damage over the favored high
(cross-mountain flow) wind locations. Wet
soil conditions likely aggravated the tree
damage. There were also a few reports of
structural damage (mainly roof and siding
damage).

The level of Devils Lake was frozen around
1448.00 feet MSL over the winter. After the
ice came out and the spring runoff
occurred, the lake level rose to about
1448.40 feet MSL. Water seepage occurred
along the roadbed of North Dakota Highway
20 at three locations near St. Michael (on
the Spirit Lake Nation reservation). This
highway has acted like a dam to the rising
waters of Devils Lake, which it was not
designed for. If the road caved away, the
rushing water would threaten about 15 homes
in that area. Work on the Devils Lake
outlet to the Sheyenne River was about 80
percent complete, and was expected to be
operational by July 2005. Water continued
to flow through the Jerusalem Coulee (from
Devils Lake) and into Stump Lake. The lake
had reportedly risen about 8.5 feet MSL in
the past year, closing multiple Nelson
county roads. Several farmsteads were also
threatened by the rising water levels.
Nelson county officials issued an Emergency
Declaration on April 19th. County officials
were also concerned about response times

By the end of March, the only snow left to
melt was along the Canadian border, mostly
from Langdon (ND) to Roseau (MN). The melt
rate had been nearly ideal, with warm
daytime highs and nights below freezing.
Some late season snowstorms had hit the
Canadian border region with some
substantial snowfall amounts. Snow depths
ranged around 20 inches at Langdon (ND),
15 inches at Pembina (ND) and Hallock (MN),
and 12 inches at the Agassiz National
Wildlife Refuge (MN). The snow water
equivalent measured at the Agassiz Refuge
was about 2.5 inches. As warmer
temperatures occurred in early April,
there was still a good amount of moisture
left to work into the river system across
northeast North Dakota and northwest
Minnesota. The Red River started rising in
the Oslo area in late March. The river
crested around 34.2 feet between April 4th
and 5th, then fell back below its moderate
flood stage around April 8th. Although no
flood warnings were issued for the Park or
Forest Rivers, they were both high and
flowing fast. Two people tried to cross a
flooded bridge at the Park River park, and
had their pickup truck swept away. The two
occupants safely got out of the truck and
the floodwaters. A suspicious death
occurred along the Forest River near
Warsaw. A 43 year-old man from the Warsaw
area drove around several road barriers and
into the flooded Forest River. His body was
found near his car as the river receded.
Due to the suspicious nature of this death,
and the fact that the man ignored several
road barriers, this death was not counted
as a direct storm-related death.

northeast from Texas to western
Pennsylvania during the early morning
hours of the April 2nd. Heavy wet snow
fell across Northeast Ohio during the
day on the 2nd, and strong winds of up
to 50 mph were reported. The wet snow, in
combination with strong winds, brought down
many trees and power lines causing hundreds

An unprecedented late winter storm
affected portions of northern Ohio. A
low pressure system over southeastern
Ohio moved northeast across western
Pennsylvania and into western New York
State on the April 23rd. Precipitation
associated with this low began as rain
in northern Ohio early on the 23rd. The
rain quickly transitioned to wet, heavy
snow by early afternoon. As the low
moved through western New York State,
it turned northwest and eventually
became centered to the north of Lake
Erie by late on the 23rd. Wintry
precipitation continued into the 24th
across north-central Ohio as bands of
snow rotated around the low pressure
center. Lake Erie helped enhance these
bands and snowfall rates at times were
well in excess of an inch per hour. The
snow began to taper off during the
early morning hours of the 25th. During
this event, heavy wet snow accumulated
on trees and power lines causing
several hundred thousand homes to lose
power. Tree damage, especially across
the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, was
substantial. Hundreds of accidents were
also reported during this event as the
wet, heavy nature of the snow made it
hard to treat roadways. Officially,
12.4 inches of snow fell at Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport. Other
snowfall reports included; 25.3 inches
in North Royalton/Broadview Heights
(Cuyahoga County), 19.8 inches at
Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County) and 21.8
inches at Thompson (Geauga County). The
heavy snow fell as far south as Ashland
and Richland Counties with 10.1 inches
measured officially at Mansfield Lahm
Airport. This snowstorm is believed to
have produced the latest one inch
snowfall ever in northern Ohio.

Flood
A low pressure system developed in the
Gulf Of Mexico and rapidly intensified
as it moved north to northeast. The low
passed over the Appalachian Mountains
and moved slowly west of the local area
during Saturday and Sunday, April 2nd
and 3rd. Widespread heavy rain along
with embedded heavy showers and
thunderstorms occurred with this
system. Storm Total Rainfall amounts
ranged from 1.50 to 3.25 inches.
During March 28th and 29th, only 3 to
5 days earlier, another low dumped
1.50 to 3.00 inches of rain across the
region as it moved north to northeast
along the eastern seaboard. These wet
antecedent conditions primed the local
area for additional widespread
flooding with 3 to 6 inches of rain
occurring in less than 5 days.
Heavy rain caused widespread urban
flooding. Most small streams and
rivers overflowed their banks. In
addition, high wind gusts from 46 to
57 mph, associated with heavier
showers, downed many trees.
The Saddle River at Lodi reached its'
flood stage of 6.0 feet at 8:45 pm on

Wildfire
A forest fire in Wharton State Forest,
when discovered at about 9:00 AM EDT on
the 20th, covered about 30 acres in
Waterford Township in Camden County.
The fire, fanned by brisk winds of 20
to 25 mph, spread to 325 acres mainly
in the Camden County part of the state
forest. No homes were in danger.
Wind-whipped embers caused spot fires
east of the Mullica River in Shamong
Township (Burlington County). These
were quickly extinguished. The blaze
was reported to be under control at
9:30 PM EDT on the 20th. The cause of
the fire was not known. It appeared to
have ignited about one mile east of the
raceway on Old Atsion Road. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) had
temporary flight restrictions for three
square miles of airspace around the
fire. The Hammonton Airport was closed so
the fire service could fly its aircraft
in and out unimpeded. No rain since
April 8th, low humidity levels and
sporadic high winds contributed to the
rapid spread of the fire. The
unseasonably dry weather caused the
Forestry Service to declare Stage 1
campfire restrictions in effect, with
no fires on the ground unless they are
in a prepared fire ring.

Numerous reports of golfball size hail
were received as an isolated supercell
storm propagated southeast over
portions of northern Eddy County
during the late afternoon and early
evening hours of the 17th. The swath
of damaging hail began at the Eddy and
Chaves County line nine miles north of

reported between Artesia and the Eddy
and Chaves County line. At least four
residences suffered roof damage and
broken windows. Four vehicles also
were heavily damaged, including a
New Mexico State Police cruiser and a
welding truck.

"extensive" damage, both structural
and to several vehicles. The hail
was, at times, wind driven by severe
thunderstorm wind gusts. This resulted
in the loss of all northward facing
windows. The roof of the residence was
severely damaged. Crop damage on the
property also was reported to be
"extensive".

out of Chaves County. This storm
slowly moved southeast over portions
of northern Eddy County and resulted
in nearly two hundred thousand dollars
worth of damage to vehicles, homes,
and crops. Due to the storm's slow
movement, hail up to the size of
golfballs persisted for up to half an
hour in some locations. Wind driven
tennis ball size hail produced
"extensive" damage to a farm on the
Eddy and Chaves County line north of
Artesia. The storm eventually weakened
in rural northeastern Eddy County.
Another supercell developed over
southern Eddy County. This storm
resulted in large hail ranging in size
from pennies to golfballs from just

Deep low pressure over Pennsylvania brought
copious amounts of precipitation to western
and central New York ... falling mainly as
rain across much of the area. Rainfalls
totals generally ranged from two to three
inches. The rain, combined with snowmelt,
produced flooding. Roads were closed in
Gorham, Scottsville, Newark, Williamson,
Sodus and Lowville. Basement flooding
was reported in Gorham and Rochester.
Evacuations were necessary in some
locations in Wayne county. The heavy rains
produced slick roads that were blamed for
numerous automobile accidents in Monroe
and Wayne counties. In Murray, Orleans
county, a 50-foot section of the south
bank of the Erie Canal collapsed. In
Ontario county, a Lyons man was treated
for hypothermia after being rescued from
flood waters. The man drove his ATV into
8-10" of water, however the swift current
rolled the four-wheeler over and the rider
was swept away. Six area creeks and rivers
reached flood stage. Oatka Creek at Garbutt
was above its 6' flood stage for 48 hours
and crested at 7.03 feet. Black Creek at
Churchville was above its 6' flood stage
for 51 hours and crested at 7.76 feet.
Tonawanda Creek at Batavia was above its

Heavy Snow
Deep low pressure over Pennsylvania brought
copious amounts of precipitation to western
New York. West of the Genesee River the
precipitation fell mainly as heavy, wet
snow with eight to twelve inches reported
across much of the area. Locally heavier
amounts of up to two feet were reported
along the ridges southeast of Lake Erie.
Numerous accidents were blamed on the
spring snowstorm. Tens of thousands were
without power as the heavy snow downed
trees, limbs and power lines. In Chautauqua
county, the weight of the snow damaged
vineyards, breaking vine posts and roots.
In Stockton, the weight of the snow caused
a barn to collapse, killing 16 head of
cattle. In Niagara Falls, a large inflated
golf dome collapsed under the weight of the
snow. Two workers were injured. They had
been inside checking for snow and water
damage when the dome collapsed.

Deep closed upper level low and associated
surface low passed directly over northwest
North Carolina on April 2nd. The surface
low deepened significantly as it exited and
headed northeast. Unusualy strong low level
winds developed in the deep, cyclonic flow
in the storm's wake. The strongest wind
gusts topped out in the 50 to 56 kt range
for at least a one hour time frame. The
winds caused widespread (mostly tree and
powerline) damage over the favored high
(cross-mountain flow) wind locations. Wet
soil conditions likely aggravated the tree
damage. There were also a few reports of
structural damage (mainly roof and siding
damage).
The injury in Wilkes Co. occurred in
Traphill. A female was brusied and

The level of Devils Lake was frozen around
1448.00 feet MSL over the winter. After the
ice came out and the spring runoff
occurred, the lake level rose to about
1448.40 feet MSL. Water seepage occurred
along the roadbed of North Dakota Highway
20 at three locations near St. Michael (on
the Spirit Lake Nation reservation). This
highway has acted like a dam to the rising
waters of Devils Lake, which it was not
designed for. If the road caved away, the
rushing water would threaten about 15 homes
in that area. Work on the Devils Lake
outlet to the Sheyenne River was about 80
percent complete, and was expected to be
operational by July 2005. Water continued
to flow through the Jerusalem Coulee (from
Devils Lake) and into Stump Lake. The lake
had reportedly risen about 8.5 feet MSL in
the past year, closing multiple Nelson
county roads. Several farmsteads were also
threatened by the rising water levels.
Nelson county officials issued an Emergency
Declaration on April 19th. County officials
were also concerned about response times
for emergency vehicles in rural areas
around Stump Lake.

By the end of March, the only snow left to
melt was along the Canadian border, mostly
from Langdon (ND) to Roseau (MN). The melt
rate had been nearly ideal, with warm
daytime highs and nights below freezing.
Some late season snowstorms had hit the
Canadian border region with some
substantial snowfall amounts. Snow depths
ranged around 20 inches at Langdon (ND),
15 inches at Pembina (ND) and Hallock (MN),
and 12 inches at the Agassiz National
Wildlife Refuge (MN). The snow water
equivalent measured at the Agassiz Refuge
was about 2.5 inches. As warmer
temperatures occurred in early April,
there was still a good amount of moisture
left to work into the river system across
northeast North Dakota and northwest
Minnesota. The Red River started rising in
the Oslo area in late March. The river
crested around 34.2 feet between April 4th
and 5th, then fell back below its moderate
flood stage around April 8th. Although no
flood warnings were issued for the Park or
Forest Rivers, they were both high and
flowing fast. Two people tried to cross a
flooded bridge at the Park River park, and
had their pickup truck swept away. The two
occupants safely got out of the truck and
the floodwaters. A suspicious death
occurred along the Forest River near
Warsaw. A 43 year-old man from the Warsaw
area drove around several road barriers and
into the flooded Forest River. His body was
found near his car as the river receded.
Due to the suspicious nature of this death,
and the fact that the man ignored several
road barriers, this death was not counted
as a direct storm-related death.

As the Pembina River began to rise in early

A strong area of low pressure moved
northeast from Texas to western
Pennsylvania during the early morning
hours of the April 2nd. Heavy wet snow
fell across Northeast Ohio during the
day on the 2nd, and strong winds of up
to 50 mph were reported. The wet snow, in
combination with strong winds, brought down
many trees and power lines causing hundreds
of thousands of homes to lose power.
Blizzard like conditions were observed
at times. The snow continued through the
evening of the 2nd, and tapered off during
the early morning hours of the 3rd. As the
low pulled away, strong north to northwest
winds developed behind the low center
allowing lake effect snow to intensify
around midday on the 3rd. Gusty winds to
30 mph were reported across northeast Ohio.
Officially, 6.8 inches of snow fell at

Winter Storm
An unprecedented late winter storm
affected portions of northern Ohio. A
low pressure system over southeastern
Ohio moved northeast across western
Pennsylvania and into western New York
State on the April 23rd. Precipitation
associated with this low began as rain
in northern Ohio early on the 23rd. The
rain quickly transitioned to wet, heavy
snow by early afternoon. As the low
moved through western New York State,
it turned northwest and eventually
became centered to the north of Lake
Erie by late on the 23rd. Wintry
precipitation continued into the 24th
across north-central Ohio as bands of
snow rotated around the low pressure
center. Lake Erie helped enhance these
bands and snowfall rates at times were
well in excess of an inch per hour. The
snow began to taper off during the
early morning hours of the 25th. During
this event, heavy wet snow accumulated
on trees and power lines causing
several hundred thousand homes to lose
power. Tree damage, especially across
the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, was
substantial. Hundreds of accidents were
also reported during this event as the
wet, heavy nature of the snow made it
hard to treat roadways. Officially,
12.4 inches of snow fell at Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport. Other
snowfall reports included; 25.3 inches
in North Royalton/Broadview Heights
(Cuyahoga County), 19.8 inches at
Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County) and 21.8
inches at Thompson (Geauga County). The
heavy snow fell as far south as Ashland
and Richland Counties with 10.1 inches
measured officially at Mansfield Lahm
Airport. This snowstorm is believed to
have produced the latest one inch
snowfall ever in northern Ohio.
