The Fargo-Moorhead area experienced its first snow of the season just days before Thanksgiving. A total of 3.2 inches of snow was recorded at Hector International Airport, covering roads, trees, and rooftops in a clean winter layer.
Residents woke up to a white landscape, capturing the quiet beauty of the first snowfall. Photographs around the city highlighted downtown streets, riverbanks, and neighborhood parks dusted in snow. Children and pets played in the fresh powder, marking the beginning of the winter season.
Despite the picturesque scenery, the snowfall served as a reminder for drivers to adjust to winter conditions. Local crews worked early hours to clear roads and sidewalks. The storm marked a typical seasonal transition for the Red River Valley area, where snow often arrives before the holidays.
“This marks the official start of winter for many North Dakotans,” local forecasters noted after the snowfall report.
