We did not get it as bad as some places. Think they finally said we got 12-14 inches.
Took awhile to dig out....
Made a nice snow cave out of one of the 5 foot drifts on our property
Global warming.....yeah right

Do it. I spent four years in Minot ND. That is real snow. I remember sliding out the third floor windows of our Dorms the snow was so high.

That's nothin'. I'll take some pics for yous so you can see real snow.
White sand doesn't count.
Had to help my neighbor today. He went out in the field to get round bales for his cattle. Got stuck, called me to help shovel. I could see him from my house so I walked over with 2 shovels. Took one look and knew we weren't going to get it out that that way. Went back and plugged my diesel tractor in so it would warm up, went over to his farm to get another chain. Came back, got my tractor fired with a little starting fluid and plowed a road thru the field to pull him out. The snow waas so deep his tractor spinning with chains on wasn't even touching dirt. 
Got him pulled out and then plowed more of a road so he could get to the bales easily.

that is the good **** about country life. People helping and taking care of each other.
I Helped two of my neighbors. And another neighbor was over with the Monster Deere tractor and took care of what I could not handle.
Just need to teach Dum Dum wife how to drive in the country. She swamped the SUV three times last year....and buried my truck the other day.

He's in his 70's, drives from PDC, 20+ miles just so he can keep farming. Did that for over 50 years. His wife would never move to the farm. He kept shoveling while I went back to get my tractor. I was afraid I'd find him with a heart attack or something when I got back out there.

Amen brother. You don't know wtf winter is until you've experienced North Dakota winters. Jesus H. It's just brutal.
My bro was stationed for 3 years at the base up in Minot. Believe it or not, he and his wife really loved it up there, winters and all.
No offense...but your brother and his wife are dum dums.
What years was he up there??
Pakrz......NoDak winters are the worst of the worst in the lower 48. We had temps for weeks with a high of like -10
Don't even get me started on wind chills. If you don't believe me ask Hntr...he is well versed in all things meteorogical

He was up there between 2004-2007. I think they miss the people in Minot more than anything.
No offense taken. He.s now stationed at Hickam on Oahu, poor bastard.

This happens to me all the time.
Yah, sure. You think picking up the neighbors dog poop is helping out. 
No, I think it's an unreasonable burden that ought to be punished.
That sounded like Kiel, didn't it?
I live on the border and we got walloped, by the time I got to the train station, we had 6 inches of snow already, by the time it was over we had another 22 inches. I won't complain, actually had fun with it, don't know how to post pics but it truly was a winter wonderland, just wish the snowplows could actually plow a street with two lanes.
The swirling air currents caused by the helicopter probably didnt help the ice and snow dislodge from the roof? Right...Sure...
funny video of a guy in a corvette. He gets stuck on the ice twice while all of the other cars are having no trouble at all. he even gets out of his car to yell at another driver.
the sound is messed up so use your mute.
