Northern Alberta. Minot is about 800 miles south east.
March? last year it was cold, snowy, blowy and over all shitty here. For a work trip, I flew from Edmonton to Calgary to Fort Worth/ Dallas to connect to some place in Kansas north of Salina.
I stepped of the plane in Dallas and was hit by a humidity bomb in the face. We ran in to some scantly clad ladies who were in town for a SOFT BALL TOURNAMENT! WTF!!! back home you still had to look outside and decide how bad you needed what ever you wanted in town if you were to go!
Sorry my American friends. I really wish the war of 1812 ended differently.
