Ok, Winter is now over. Not only because I said so, but because I started the Summer Weather Alert thread. You can now plant your garden and frolic in the breeze.

No more snow, just sunshine and warm.

If there is significant weather, please post any alerts you may hear or see. This is not a reliable weather warning system, but more of a data bank for travelers and new people to North Dakota, to see how the weather is.

It doesn't have to be a weather alert, you can post "Wow is the wind blowing.", that's fine. As long as it's about the weather, it's fine, and please, include where, i.e. County, Town, Region, something to identify that it's not ND as a whole.
