This may be weird but I immediately thought of Tennessee Ernie Ford while listening without the video. (One certainly doesn't think of TEF while watching the video -- LOL.)
Now, Williston Wire's Top Ten for 2013 --

Minot Temperatures For 2013
The Minot Daily News is reporting:
"This past month of December we had a monthly average temp of 4.3 degrees, which was 6.7 degrees below last year's average temps for the same month," he said. He said it was 9.1 degrees below the 107-year long-term average of 13.4 degrees.
The coldest day of the year was -27 degrees on Dec. 23 and the warmest day of the summer was 93 degrees set on Aug. 19, Tarasenko said.On another note, the Minnesota governor closed all schools because of the frigid weather. But looking at the forecasts at Weather Underground, and even looking at the temperatures in the linked story, I can't get too excited about the temperatures. I remember much colder temperatures when growing up in Williston, North Dakota. Not only did they not cancel school, we still went outside and played.
