Coldest States in the US - Current Results

North Dakota is ranked 2nd in the nation for having the coldest winters. What are important things to keep in mind when temperatures drop this low? For starters, bundle up! You may think that going to and from a vehicle to a building is nothing to bundle up for, but its never a bad idea to be prepared for the unexpected. Certain circumstances may cause you to stay outside longer than you would expect OR you may have car trouble. Speaking of cars: make sure to keep your vehicle filled with gasoline during these bitter cold months. It's also important to keep a survival stash in your vehicle "just in case." You may want to fill a duffel bag with some candy bars, a lighter, extra mittens and hats, a blanket, flashlight, extra batteries, bottled water, reflectors, deck of cards, and boots. You may also want to put a shovel in your trunk in case you need to shovel a path for your vehicle. These are just a few tips for surviving the cold winter months we experience here in North Dakota. Its never a bad idea to be over prepared! Stay warm!
