This article gets it right. I am from S. Wisconsin, so I'm not pegged with a "Fargo" accent, but I can certainly tell differences in that pattern of speech. It's not a N. Wisconsin accent, but I can definitely see how people who haven't heard it on a regular basis could see that. Depending on the words that she uses in a sentence, she may not actually hit one that gives it away.
