You might hit things just right with a warm-up predicted for Fri/Sat.

Yeah it's cold outside it is still better then a 3+ day snow storm with 6+ feet snow drifts to shovel out of. In August of 2018 williston had a temperature of 106 degrees and this morning it was -32 degrees.

Is it me or does the media make a bigger deal out of what I would call an average ND winter?

Yes, "cold-nami" sells advertising apparently. Par for the course. My propane bill usually takes a hit at least once a winter....I guess this is it.

UPDATE: Wow, I don't have kids at the bus stop. Crazy that school is cancelled for cold.

[riverview]

they make a huge deal about wind chill temps you have to pay attention to the weather to see what the actual temp is. When did they start canceling school for winter?

I am thinking it was the expected crappy roads that caused schools to cancel early, rather than wait until people had already started prepping for school. I live a mere six miles from work and there were 7-8 extra set of tracks in the ditches on my way to and from work today. This it the Bis/Lincoln area.

I’m a teacher but we have such a rural district that bussing students to school is not feasible, so I am just guessing at this. Could it possibly be that they do not want to have a cold related bus problem with 50 kids aboard that would need to be picked up? Diesel gelling comes to mind. All I really know isn’t that I won’t complain to you guys about -9...

Oh there's nothing new with that one if you think back Governor sinner shut down the entire State back back in 1989 and 1990 just for cold! I do love the forecast for Bismarck is a low of -10 in the high of -11 I'm not sure if they realize how that whole high-low thing is supposed to work but I think they got it backwards!;:;boozer

IMO this winter has been pretty mild to this point. We are almost thru January and this is really the only real cold stretch we've had. 2 months to go though and those could go either way.
