The climate in North Dakota is very pleasant, but can range from extremely hot in the summer months to very cold in the winter months. In addition, there are very infrequent tornado warnings during the summer. If you will be driving a car, you must be aware of snow-removal from the streets and not park where the city plows may be clearing the streets.
Blizzards are heavy snows, very cold temperatures, and high winds.
They may come very suddenly, or may be forecast on the news. It is very dangerous to be on the highways during this kind of storm. The radio and television stations announce travel warnings at times of danger. It is best to seek shelter in the nearest home, if possible, if you think roads will become impassible. If you are caught in a storm, listen to instructions on the radio and do not leave your car.
