    As A North Dakota Resident, I say that's the plain truth right there. We're tough in ND. ;)

    no media attention because you've got storms of "biblical proportion" popping up all over the world right now...wouldn't look too good for a government that's got it's head up everybody's ass about irrelevant crap would it? Can't start to fix the climate without getting rid of some obvious polluters, and literally changing how we perceive energy as a resource.

    The difference between having snow on your roof and not having a roof.

    The response of the North Dakotans (?) stands in sharp contrast to the Floridians who, despite knowing for about a week that a hurricane was coming, chose not to stock up on food and water but rather decided to whine that the government wasn't giving them what they wanted.

    Thank you, North Dakota, for acting like responsible human beings.

    You're welcome. Life in North Dakota is still what life is all about. Good people taking care of one another and themselves. When storms close the streets we have volunteers who provide transportation for medical and other emergencies. More than one baby has been born after Mom was rushed to the hospital on a snow mobile. This group calls themselves "Drift Busters." If some one needs help with medical expenses we have benefit suppers. If some one's house burns down whole neighborhoods step in to help. I've seen a dozen combines in a field where the neighbors are harvesting the crops of someone who is injured or sick. We aren't whiners. We're doers.

    Up here in North Dakota, we regularly get storms that have "Tropical storm" sized winds and sometimes get gusts that would classify as "hurricane" winds. Very seldom do you hear any of us complaining. Very seldom do we close roads or schools. Extreme weather is not normal here, but it happens and we know that.

    However, isn't it time that the Government employed that geodome that the dems seem to think that bush has?

    What we're short of is North Dakota pride.

    Surely blizzards do not happen this century. I thought by us not signing Kyoto, we ensured there would be no more blizzards? Damned global warming. It never works when you want it to. I am sure the plains are wishing for some global warming with the rising heating oil prices.

    And BTW, stop stealing my snow from the Southern Rockies. I have a ski season to think about. You should read the dire predictions in the Ski Magazines about the entire ski industry ending because of Global Warming. I have a bridge to sell them.

    Global Warming is a fact. The weather is not exactly the same day after day, week after week. Sometimes it's warmer, sometimes cooler. Sometime it even rains on my Birthday.

    See Globabl Warming.
