Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted October 22, 2013 Super User Posted October 22, 2013 Specifically, North or South Dakota, Montana, or Wyoming? I found some work in those areas I'm debating on. Pay is good and work sounds fun. However being born and raised in the Deep South. I am curious as to what the weather is like up there. Is it always white and frozen all winter? Or will it thaw out sometimes? Exactly how cold is it? Yeah I can look it up, but I'm curious about first hand accounts. Also do the people live in igloos in aome of the wilderness areas? This isn't a deal breaker I'm just curious. 1 Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted October 23, 2013 Super User Posted October 23, 2013 I was in both N and S Dakota in the middle of winter for projects. I will NEVER do so again. I'd flip burgers before subjecting myself to that kind of weather again. 1 Quote

I can't write a fur coat off as a business expense. Well bye bye 30grand chinchilla trench coat. Cant even write off a mink coat like Kanye is wearing. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted October 23, 2013 Super User Posted October 23, 2013 I've got a cousin who is a large animal vet. He did studies in N/S Dakota on mule deer populations. He's originally from TN and didn't really seem to mind it, although he did say some of the winter days were BRUTAL. Guess it all depends on how much you are gonna make. I can tell you one thing, the bird hunting there in PHENOMENAL. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 23, 2013 Super User Posted October 23, 2013 That bad up there? I had to get up every 90 minutes, all night, every night, to start my truck. If i didn't, it would not start in the morning. It was a brand new truck, not a beater. Went for two months basically without sleep, and never got warm except when in the shower. Like I said, never again. 1 Quote

Like I said, never again. That is horrible. We would be in a camp at different refineries and various places. Apparently they have a bunch of bunk houses. And a cafeteria set up for the workers. So everything is walking distance. Some of the places they airlift you into. Quote

We get a inch of snow and the whole state shuts down, down here. Personally I prefer the cold. I was all excited thinking I was gonna get to stay in an igloo. Then you came along and ticked on my cloud! Quote
