Plowed out of my driveway , two feet of new snow. Thank goodness for 4x4. The plow man should be getting here asap.
Main roads ok here, but they stay decent , west of the divide, with much less dang wind and drifting.
There's a group on FB that are very good in moment by moment answering people's inquiries and asking questions, even as they drive. Not a few are truckers. They often even post photos and short videos as they travel. All over Montana. In a second, you can find out about almost any road , north to south, east to west.
The best weather moment by moment reporting I've seen. I've been monitoring them as best I can. If there is another site that does this, if one isn't on FB, that would be a good thing to have.

My road never gets plowed on the weekend. They may not get to it until mid day Monday, but I don't need to go anywhere. I will wait and clean it out with the skid and snow blower on Tuesday. It shows low 30's for highs with a South/Southwest wind at 20mph I can blow a lot of it into the pasture. I just heard Minot had 13", that is 25 miles east of me. You add wind 30-40 with gusts it piles up in places.

A E It is flat blowing and snowing here yet. It should stop a couple hours before daylight daylight is what it is showing. If you would have been on the road today you would not have seen much, you would have been too busy trying to stay on the road.

Sharon, I lived in Gt Falls MT nine years and a year in Galena and three in Fairbanks AK and I have never seen blizzards like we get every year in ND. Some times the snow is still moving 48 hours after it has stopped snowing. We have wind and snow here. Gt Falls had wind, but it was often a chinook and the snow pretty much all melted. We do not get any melting chinooks here. It may crust over, but that just gives the next batch something to slide on. I am sure I have six foot of new drift in places. The over passes on the freeway drift shut tight enough you could not get a snow machine through at times. It can change so fast here it is hard to believe. When I left your house last year after our visit, I was in total butt_pucker factor untill I hit Minot city limits. The open plains with snow and strong winds are 2 things that will make an Atheist believe in God if on the road.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I used to drive 40 miles to work one way. I would leave at 0600 to be to work at 0730. Most the time I was a half hour early, but some times I was late. But the boss knew what time I left for work and didn't care if I was late. Some days were a slow go.

I don't think anyone hauled hay home in ND yesterday. I would not have wanted to be out moving hay. It stopped after 0245 this morning. I woke up then and again at around 0400. Freeway is still closed between Dickenson and Bismarck. A lot of the roads are marked scattered ice now. It looks clean and fresh for the most part. I got a e-mail from harbor freight this morning, saying today was the last day of the parking lot sale. I thought that was funny. I bet it was pretty slow sale, other than the wind and snow.

Nothing last night in central SD again just very windy so travel should be normal except for the wind depends what direction if it will help or hurt you getting around.

They are forecasting a bunch more global warming here too. They were calling for another 10 inches and 35 MPH winds but I haven't looked for an updated forecast. I am running out of places to pile snow.
I have nothing clever to put here.

This looks wetter than the last we got. But I have not been out in it. It is out of the NE again and wind is cranking pretty good. The tar roads we just getting where there was more tar than ice in some areas. This should change that.

Where you live (during a blizzard) is something VERY FEW can comprehend how bad it can be!!
