A spring storm is expected to hit the region Monday and last through late Tuesday bringing the threat for significant snowfall. Total snowfall accumulations from six inches to greater than a foot of snow are possible along with gusty winds which could produce reduced visibilities in blowing and drifting snow as well as cause stress to the temporary levees currently holding the Red River back. The heaviest snowfall is expected along the North and South Dakota border into adjacent portions of west central Minnesota. Snow accumulation from 8 to 12 inches with locally heavier amounts are expected. Gusty northeast winds of 20 to 25 mph will also produce reduced visibilities in blowing and drifting snow.

Ugh.. Oh well
We’ll make it through.
This should be interesting…..
We will make it thru. Like the mayor says, there’s not much of a choice at this point!
Let them keep stacking the deck against us. In the end, we will be All-In holding the cards
….and get through this victorious

LOL!
This is why I miss ND. This kind of up-beat camaraderie in the face of adversity doesn’t happen anywhere else.
My wishes and prayers to everyone back home. We can only get through this by working together, where-ever we are.
Does anyone think that in addition to completeley and financially starting over people’s lives that lost everything, we should possible get a rent or mortage payment deduction for April? A lot of people can’t work, children are at home eating more, and we don’t all have payed time off? It only seems fair. After all, this is employing many people in other ways? Is there unemployment for non-laid off “unintentionally, temporarily,labor cut-backs.?
Wow that was a quick response!! Go Fargo!!
