Arctic Air to Keep it Extremely Cold at #NODAPL Camps This Week
Published December 11, 2016
CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA – It will be cold this week as high pressure moves in from Canada, bringing with it Arctic air. There is also a probability of another storm affecting the plains next Sunday- Monday, but it is so far out I will give it as a 30% possibility to affect the Great Plains. There is a good chance of more Arctic air coming in next weekend and dropping temps as low as -30’sF with windchills dangerously in the -40’sF especially out in the open areas across the Dakotas and Minnesota.

This type of weather is to be taken very seriously because there can be a loss of life as a result of these types of conditions. People need to think, ask themselves. Why are they there. IF they can, they need to go back to their home states and allow the local tribes the ability to work and get back to however they carry out daily life in the area. IF your being there is causing ANY UNDUE STRESS TO THESE LOCAL TRIBAL MEMBERS, Please do consider leaving soon. For your health AND theirs. Thank you.
