Since it is located in the Great Plains, it has an extreme continental climate, in that there are great differences between summer and winter temperatures.As there are no nearby mountain ranges or bodies of water to ameliorate the winter climatic conditions, Grand Forks lies exposed to numerous weather systems including bitterly cold Arctic high pressure systems. This can result in bone-chilling temperatures as early as the end of October, followed by bitter cold temperatures and sometimes dangerous wind chill readings during December, January and February. The maximum daily temperature usually doesn't exceed 32°F (0°C) for more than ten days for these three months and the minimum daily temperature fall below −4°F (−20°C) during most of the winter.
Cold weather and snow will occasionally extend into April, although in general the winter weather begins to moderate in late February or early March. The lowest temperature ever recorded was −43°F (−42°C) on January 30, 2004. Sources.
