I'm not in either North or South Dakota. On the news for the past few days. Looks like no fun. Cold here, but, life can go on. Can get out.

Mail moving, etc.

@SharkE I agree. Headed to granddaughters end of next week in Northern VA. Always check weather ahead...15 day forecast: 2 days snow predicted. 1 on travel day up & other travel day back. Will definitely take extra clothes, meds in case stranded a few extra days. Main roads always cleared but side roads take longer. Being from NC rarely get winter weather. Think our small town has 1 sand truck!! If snow hits, we're inside for at least a week. If even a hint of a prediction, within an hour, the grocery shelves clear of bread, milk and beer (?). Can't find candles or flashlights & bags of ice are scarce. Our power goes out easily. It's a real mess. I kind of like staying in as long as I have my provisions, some jewelry to work on, blank canvases/paints, a few great books and some Krispy Kreme doughnuts, of course. LOL 😂

Best thing is it's so quiet. all the nuts off the streets. Keep 'em inside their own homes. LOL

We've lived in both Grand Forks and Minot, ND. I'm so glad we aren't there now. It's horrible when it's a blizzard there. We get them in MI too off the lake but nothing as bad as ND. The Arctic looks just like it.

I saw one new blurb this morning showing school kids going to school during a snow storm (blizzard?) in one of the Dakotas! Hardy folks!!!!

I feel sorry for the animals. They don't take care of the animals down here in Tx.

Been there, done that back in central New York. Only fun thing about it is getting use out of my favorite leather pant suits, coats, gloves, and boots.

@StylishLady .....and I'd finally have use for a puffer coat. (see my other posts). Hate 'em!!! 😜

Lived in eastern Montana for awhile, in a similar ND environment. At -20, even got to -40, for two weeks out on the plains. The mercury just pooled at the bottom of the thermometer and stayed there. My car steering wheel disintegrated one morning. It was brutal. I could see a move in my future!
