Today's North Dakota weather warnings/advisories:

 It looks like a North Dakota blizzard with wind chill warnings across much of the state. In the Bakken oil patch, hardest hit, based on the color scheme, will be Williams, Mountrail, Divide counties, but I doubt truckers and rough necks will find much difference anywhere across the oil patch. Crosby, in Divide County, will get to 23 degrees below zero (before wind chill factored in); Williston down to about 17 degrees below zero.

Don alerted me to the weather map. Thank you.
