You Live Here!

I'll admit, I don't think I ever planned to actually spend my entire life living in North Dakota. I married the most wonderful man though, and well, you know how love will change what you are willing to do in life for it. I am happily married and content with spending most of my life in North Dakota. And every now and then, you'll hear a mutter from me about the weather, likely when it's well below zero. But seriously people, you live in North Dakota. Sure, you've been spoiled over the last few years with mild winters, but you still live in North Dakota. And, with a few exceptions, most of you choose to live here. So quit complaining about it!

I know, it has been one of the snowiest winters of all time, including the record breaking month of December. And I know, it's been colder than usual. However, until you have lived in practically the middle of no where and have gone without power and heat for a week, I don't want to hear about it. Especially not repeatedly. I watch the same weather reports and hear the same radio station carrying on about how cold it is outside or when the next storm is coming. This does not have to be the subject of conversation for days on end. Spring will come and then summer and I suppose then they'll be complaining about hot it is... people are never happy.
