A Friendly 40 Year Tradition

WASHBURN — A bit crazy perhaps, but in a fun way. A group of friends has been getting together to camp out on April Fools weekend, a good two months before many would even think about it, for 40 consecutive years. Remarkable.

It's Snow Record

MINOT — You shovel it. Push it. Despise it. Curse it. Maybe even take a little pride in digging out of it. Ah, you persevered a whopper of a North Dakota blizzard, and in late April of all things, and have a true tale of a real record breaker to enthrall listeners throughout the ages. […]

AIM Hits the Target

Just ask any of the hardy competitors in the AIM Weekend Walleye Series that kicks off April 24 at Graner Bottoms on the Missouri River below Bismarck. Fishing is about having fun, and for AIM anglers that includes competing against others who just can’t seem […]

Wildlife Weathering the Storm

MINOT — Lake Darling hosted some rare visitors this past week, a trio of whooping cranes that apparently had their northern migration rudely interrupted by one of the largest blizzards to ever strike the region.

After The Storm

MINOT — It was one for the record books. No question about that. The blizzard that struck this week dumped up to 36 inches of snow over much of the Minot region. City of Minot residents found themselves trapped in their homes for several days due to the heavy snowfall whipped by winds up to […]

MINOT — More good than bad, but that can change in the coming days. “This is going to be interesting. We don’t see these types of events very often,” said Allen Schlag, National Weather Service hydrologist in Bismarck. “A lot of the time in these spring blizzards the soils are still frozen.
