I 3rd it.
Last winter was my first up here.
But I don't look forward to another one with our 10% pay cut and reduced hours.
And as it was said, past winter was very mild by N.D. standards, prob. because of El Niño.
All have told me the last 5 have have steadily gotten milder.
So coming up is El Nina. Any "real" opinion on what this winter holds?

I don't even begin to predict what's going to happen when it comes to the weather.......if people told you the last 5 were mild they are lying....Dec 2013 when I arrived out here it was -35 and stayed that way all of Dec and most of January

Sorry, didn't write it correctly.
A few of my co-workers said that comparing 4-5 years ago, about 2012, it was EXTREAMLY cold that winter...and the next winter was not as cold, and the following winters a little milder than the preceding one before it. Until we got to last year, the mildest winter in a long time.
That was what I was told.
If this coming winter would be like the one just past, I wouldn't give it
much thought.
But, with a reduction of about 25 hours a week LESS than last year, AND 10% less pay, I'm not sure if I want to stay thru another one. -
