Bleak landscape in the winter and always a breeze.
i roughnecked north of Belfield in the winter in the early 80’s and first winter was horrible wind and severe cold but next two winter were not real bad. Only snowed in at the drilling rig site for a little over two days once. We made hole the entire time when most rigs froze up.
spent a few weeks near Bowbells in 2013 doing pipeline dig ups as an oiler.
weather was decent for January at times and horrible as well…
wind ices the roads up frequently when the sun heats the road enough to melt a bit of the blowing snow and then wind polishes the ice very well…
i’m used to Mn winters in the woods up north.
