Rapid snowmelt began in earnest on Saturday across the Red River basin. Temperatures across much of North Dakota and Minnesota reached well into the 60s, 70s and 80s, effectively unlocking nearly half-a-years worth of water stored in lingering winter snowpack.
Snowmelt from April 20, 2013 to April 27, 2013 has been on the order of 10 to 20 inches across parts of the basin, with most of the melting occurring in only the latter two days.
