GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ The National Weather Service says an

early season storm dumped record amounts of snow in some areas of

North Dakota.

The Weather Service's Grand Forks office reported 3.5 inches of

snow with Thursday's storm. The previous record snowfall for that

date or earlier was 2 inches, which fell on Oct. 2, 1950.

The heaviest snow fell in Roseau County, where about a foot of

heavy, wet snow was reported by 3 p.m. Thursday. Pembina received

about 4 inches, while Lankin, Michigan and Mayville each received

more than 3 inches.

The 1950 storm produced 2 to 5 inches of snow across the region,

with localized higher amounts. The North Dakota town of Leeds

received 7 inches of snow that day.
