Answer 1

I don't know about Grand Forks specifically, but Fargo, 80 miles to the north sees around 40 inches.  It doesn't seem like a lot, but ground blizzard conditions occur pretty commonly every year since it is so flat and any snow on the ground can easily be blown around.  

Answer 2

They average annual snowfall for Grand Forks is currently about 44.1 inches, the majority of which falls in November through January.  You can go here to see that and other climate data from the National Weather Service office in Grand forks, ND.:http://www.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.ph...
