Oh, North Dakota is not a place I Would care to be in a blizzard.
In the Winter of 1993 we had 14 major snow storms dumped on us. There was no getting away from the snow. We were caught in a swirl that hovered over the East Coast, we were all snowed in for weeks, '94 was not much better.
I was in North Dakota from 1978 to 1983. I lived through four winters where the wind chill was -60 or below (-115, -109 on two occasions, with lots of -85's thrown in). When the wind blew there, whether in a snow storm or not, we would have "white out" conditions (just like being in a blizard). At least the people who live there are exceptionally nice.
