North Dakota Hit by Spring Blizzard


North Dakota just got hit by a May Day blizzard:

BISMARCK, N.D. - Crews were working Sunday to restore power in northwest North Dakota after a blizzard driven by 60 mph winds took out all five major transmission systems serving the region.


More than 30,000 people and thousands of oil well sites were without power in the area and in eastern Montana following Saturday's storm, and more than two dozen communities suffered power outages, Williams County sheriff's Sgt. Det. Amanda McNamee told the Bismarck Tribune.

I wonder what the citizens of that state think about global warming.  Maybe, we should send Michael Mann and all the other pseudo-scientist on a field trip to explain the effects of climate change.  I’m sure the thousands who are without power will be receptive to know that they are the cause of their man-made spring blizzard.
