The Two Seasons in Minot ND

Here is a "Heads-Up" to all the Southerners coming to our community to serve on the Minot Air Force Base or out in the Oil Field. North Dakota has been known as the land of 2 seasons.... Winter and Road Construction.

Keep in mind that unlike our Southern States we can only maintain our roads when they are not snow covered. I'm posting this now because it's only been in the last week that we are seeing the actual surface of many of our streets here in Minot. So far what I'm seeing is not pretty. For the last 4 years we have had the busiest street in town, Broadway, completely closed in a several block area as we repaired it from one end to the other. This year I'm betting on the next busiest, Burdick Expressway. I drive East Burdick Expressway every day and I'm sure hoping they get to it soon. If they don't I'm afraid the inhabitants of hell will escape (OK I'm exaggerating a little) but it is a fact that you need to be prepaired for detours until the snow flies again next October. Drive careful!
