Blizzard in North Dakota

We woke up to a blizzard this morning. Wind chill near 41 below! Church and all other activities for the day are cancelled including Marshall's Eagle Court of Honor that we have been planning for a long time. Gram and Grand dad came in for the big event and are leaving now with out having witnessed it. The cake is in the freezer to be saved for a later date, the balloons are deflating and the programs are outdated--living in North Dakota is an adventure. Why are we happy here?
