Incoming Air Force personel, oil workers traveling to North Dakota, please NOTE: This is officially the snowiest winter EVER in much of ND including Minot ND. Again, keep in mind EVER!!! So when your friends and relatives tell you how bad it is just keep in mind this is beyond unusual. I don't know about the official temperature stats for this month but it's got to be close on the lows as well. It's going to get better, this just happens to be a new benchmark on the low end so chin-up and look forward to meeting the warmest people in the USA right here in Minot ND.

So how do you shovel so much snow? Hardware stores are reporting record sales on snow-blowers and shovels. Excavating companies had a banner building season and now this has just been an added bonus.

While a boon to the construction companies this is absolutely killing many business owners. Over the last month this has been the scene out my office window about twice a week. Shovels this size don't come cheep. Here are two pictures from my back yard. Please note I brushed the snow off the grill last week.

Bob - I love the snow, however, it only comes with the cold, brrrrr. It's a good thing that some businesses are prospering from it.
