You might notice some people saying "I hate North Dakota winters", especially after the nice little snow storm that hit this last weekend. I for one have never been a huge fan of snow or winter, but this winter I'm going to have a different attitude. Instead of staying inside all winter, I'm going to take advantage of the fact that not too far from Bismarck is a place to go skiing and snowboarding. Granted Huff Hills isn't as good as Red Lodge, but for those just learning or those just wanting to get out and do something it works just fine. Another great winter activity is ice skating. This, like snowboarding, will take a little practice. And for those who are young at heart there is always sledding.
I know this may not be the strongest point as to why a person should stay in North Dakota, but with the recent snow storm I figured it was a great opportunity to persuade people to go out and enjoy the white stuff. It could be worse, just look further down south where they have hurricanes and monsoons. I'd rather be stuck in snow personally.
So for those who are stuck here for the time being, you might as well enjoy winter weather. It might just make the winter season go by faster.

Being from North Dakota I do have a love for winter but not for the length of time it stays! It is nice having snow for Christmas though. It just wouldn't be the same without there being at least a little snow on the ground. People from the warm climates are definitely missing out. Winter is when my family and I would spend hours baking together and watching movies. The cold weather and wet shoes may be irritating at times but it's a blessing in disguise when you can spend quality time with your family.
I think there are some great days some of the time but i don't agree that the weather is fabulous.It tends to be really extreme- either hot or cold. But even in that there is beauty. And having family makes it all right
