40 below keeps the riffraff out.

Unofficial motto in Minot ND, at least in the mid to late 70s.

Also, snow under foot cracks as you step on it.

And...minus 40 F equals minus 40 C.

Unofficial motto in Minot ND...

Those of us fortunate enough not to be assigned to Minot AFB in the missile business always countered the slogan "Why not Minot?" with:

"Why not Minot?"...It's cold I'm Told or

"Why not Minot?"...Freezin's the reason.

We had it much better at Grand Forks (Do I have to put the sarc tag on that??)

I drive through Minot on the way to Regina, SK. It was pretty pathetic only a few years ago, but has built up considerably. Besides the cold, Minot gets it when the Red River decides to flood. It is not for everybody.
