Hallelujah, A Warmer Fall & Winter Predicted for North Dakota

I know that we’re typically a political blog, but I can’t help but share the excitement I felt when I saw this headline from the Grand Forks Herald— “Report: Warmer Fall, Winter Predicted for North Dakota“. According to the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) and their outlook, those of us here on the Northern Plains can expect above average temperatures for what can sometimes be a very chilly time of year— thank you El Nino! This is good news!

I don’t know about you, but fall is my favorite time of year in North Dakota. For me, the beauty of changing colors across the state’s landscape – highlighted by the rising and setting sun – just cannot be beat. The Badlands are especially breathtaking. Evening walks with the family, the sounds of migrating birds, and chasing deer with a bow and arrow (or rifle if you’re fortunate enough to draw a tag) make for memories that last a lifetime.

Perhaps the things that bring joy to your fall or winter are quite different than mine. Whatever they may be, I hope this news brightens your day like it did for me.

God bless you and yours!

About T. Arthur Mason 874 Articles
T. Arthur Mason is a native North Dakotan who has spent nearly all of his life in the Peace Garden State. As the third of four children in Western North Dakota, Mason grew to appreciate family and the outdoors. Some of his fondest memories are annual deer hunts with family and friends. In his early teenage years, faith became a central part of T. Arthur Mason's life. He and the majority of his family attend church together on a weekly basis and find this a fulfilling aspect of their lives. Through the influence of his father, T. Arthur Mason became intrigued with politics. As a boy, he attended political events with his father and enjoyed the friendships that resulted as a byproduct of those political associations. As Mason grew older, he became convinced that the quote often attributed to Thomas Jefferson was true, "That government is best which governs least." Today, T. Arthur Mason enjoys time with his wife and children, an occasional hunt, and an increasingly active life on the political scene. This blog is the fulfillment of a dream to design a web site in the realm of politics and to advocate for the principles of Liberty and constitutionally limited government. On behalf of all those that contribute to The Minuteman, we hope you enjoy your time on the site and will share the message with others.
