Well here in North Dakota we are in the middle of our 11th Blizzard of the winter season. All of our snow had just melted, only to start all over again with not just a little of snow...we had close to 12 inches of that wet crap and it started at 11:00 am this morning. Just to the NE of us, they are estimating over 20 inches of it.
The 50+ MPH winds started Saturday night and still blowing Hard! Zero visibility most of the day...major interstate highways are still closed. It is suppose to quit Tuesday Night. Hope no one is stranded and ventures out on their own...we do on occasion lose a couple(die).
They say us people up north here are tough (maybe stupid) but it does harden the mind! Many people come and then move away after their first winter here. Out in the western part (Oil Fields) of ND in December-January, when temps dropped to close to -40*F (below zero), with the addition of 30MPH winds, people were quitting at a rate of 30 an hour!
All the Highway and street departments in every city are stressed beyond all their resources, due to the long winter.
I know I won't be sewing first thing in the morning cause I'll be snow blowing my 5 foot drift out of the driveway.
There are worst places to live in the world, but right now I can't think of any.

Hang in there buddy---spring has to show up eventually. We've had a looonnngg cold winter up here too,but that system you're dealing with went around us in here the western part of the province ---other than the 30+MPH winds yesterday. I haven't heard how hard, but the eastern part got clobbered.

I can loan you some if you don't mind a bit of ice in it.We've been "melt a little,freeze and windy for a few days,melt a little more,freeze that...". I guess it's better than the flood of 2011, but dang I'm getting tired of it.
