We羆*e into a day long blow so far. Going since eight am. White-out in the open. 25 mph wind, drifts area building. A87ADED9-CC63-4320-8A71-F0A2203078A0.jpeg

A good friend in Minot, ND has taken pictures like that also. Temps are usually real cold along with the wind.

Have been to Minot a few times, summer only though. Much the same weather as here. About 15 deg f right now. Tractor block heater is on. I'll wait till it slows up on the snow before I go out. Retired, no reason to be out there now.

I don't think it's supposed to drop down to us until tonight?

Supposed to blow like heck tomorrow and tomorrow night though.

Still no snow here.

We're supposed to get some of that wind. 20-30 steady with gusts 40+ so they're saying.

No snow here either. :laughing:

Got frostbite on both of my thighs walking to middle school (8th grade) while living in Minot. The wind out of the west can be brutal when the temps are low.

'lived through it... Now, there is no real winter, just bad springs and chilly falls here in VT..

We had an epic blow the past day and a half, no real snow but steady 15-30 mph North wind. Finally back to calm this morning and 14F.

What is this wind of which you speak? Our snowfall usually occurs with very little air movement, such that it will build up on thin branches, power lines, and fence wires.

Be dang glad you didn't get it! :)

We've been to Minot a few times! And many other locations across the fine state of ND. Got relatives there as well.. NOAA is predicting gale force winds here tonight or tomorrow and boats are going to safe harbors to wait it out. That means they go to a location that will not see the waves and drop anchor to wait it out. That can be seen here.
