AMANDA LEE WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GRAND FORKS SAYS THE LATEST ROUND OF SNOW COULD PUSH SOME AREAS INTO MAJOR FLOOD LEVELS THIS SPRING. SHE SAYS PRIOR TO THE SNOW, THE MAJOR FLOODING WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FURTHER SOUTH, BUT NOW AREAS SUCH AS GRAND FORKS AND OSLO AND ALMOST A GUARANTEE TO REACH THE MAJOR FLOOD STAGE.
