Still Stranded, 20 Hours After The Storms End in Minot ND

It really is beautiful Beth Atalay and to be truthful I've been outside most of the day enjoying it.

That would be a great idea Ron and Alexandra Seigel as the City of Minot is already saying they are running out of places to put it.

Thanks Gita Bantwal I am staying put and hopefully that is safe. 

I got stranded in Oklahoma City a couple of years ago over Christmas Joe Pryor but it was because our plane had trouble and there were no more flights out for the day.

I was actually surprised to see that myself Myrl Jeffcoat but we have been hit 3 times this month and it's left us in a mess so I guess that makes the big time news.

Thanks William Feela , I'm letting my son do most of the hard work, one heart attack in my life time is/was enough.

The condition of the snow blower does concern me as it's about 20 years old Grant Schneider . I'm hoping it holds up because there is not one for sale in the whole city of Minot at this time.

The city of Minot hired outside contractors yesterday and they got to our street last night around 9:30. They did a geat job. No more snow predicted for a week so of course when I got up this morning it was snowing like crazy Larry Johnston 

Thanks Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington it's been and adventure and no doubt will continue to be one.

I would guess it's really beautiful to see the hills of AR snow covered James Dray . I know it won't last long for you as I've seen several beautiful Easters in AR.

Patricia Feager the City could not keep up so they hired out and those contractors came to our rescue last night between 9:30 and 10:30. They did a far superior job than the City does so I was free to go to work this morning. Even sticking to Minot's two main streets it was still a little bit of a challenge.

Driving is a "white knuckle" experience Debbie Reynolds , home is a good place to be. What should be two lanes is 1-1/2 yet some crazy drivers act like they own the icy road and nearly every intersection is blind due to the height of the snow drifts on the corners.

Thanks Roy Kelley the biggest danger now is going to be traveling down streets that are not well plowed and banks on each side that prevent you from seeing traffic approaching from either side.

Lou Ludwig our fireplace is electric but it's still very relaxing to sit in front of it. Hot chocolate is always great and we don't want spring to fast or we will be in for flooding.

If I remember correctly Endre Barath, Jr. there was a year when I was living in the Red River Valley (Fargo ND) where they did actually ship the snow out West because there was no place to put it anymore.

The zoo parking lot did strike me as crazy Kat Palmiotti . The roads are better but I'd still rate them as "poor" and there are still residential areas that have only a path through them.

Thank you Rebecca Gaujot, the Go To Realtor® 40+" in such a short time was to much even for our Northern environment. We have a new Vicar (pastor in training) at out church and he is from the State of Washington. He says that if they had just 4" (4 not 40) they would have to close the State for a month.

Thank you Patricia Feager things are pretty close to normal with the exception of very narrow streets and blind intersections due to all the snow. We got out to the grocery store today so all is well there too. I had to stop at the hardware store (took a pump in for a tune up in case spring brings a lot of water to our back yard) and the lack of snow removal equipment was very obvious. I asked about snow blowers and they said there is not one in town (for sale) to be found.
