ND’s Police Department “Sings Out” Sound Weather Advice

I love this Facebook post, because it's so accurate and true

I have thankfully learned all of this "Mother Nature" advice through almost 12 years of living in North Dakota. I realize I'm not a native, but I believe I've been out here long enough to know just how accurate and true this post from a North Dakota Police Department is. Perfect timing, too, since we just had a storm roll through.

“sNOW That’s What I Call Music: Winter Hits – Vol. 1”

This brilliant post from earlier this morning ( Tuesday, November 25, 2025 ) comes from the Minot Police Department Facebook Page:

And with that, we present:

“sNOW That’s What I Call Music: Winter Hits – Vol. 1”

featuring timeless tracks like:

I Remember My First Time Driving on Snow

If People Would Just Slow Down (Radio Edit)

Stop, Drop, and… Please Stop

Black Ice Surprise (Unintentional Remix)

Before the roads start playing these chart-toppers on repeat, a few reminders:

Leave a little earlier. Showing up on time > unintentionally starring in a winter stunt show.

Slow down. Yes, it’s on the playlist twice. It deserves it.

Check your tires. Got tread? Great. No tread? Call your favorite tire shop (still no free ads).

Find your ice scraper. The real one. Not the gift card in your wallet with 97 cents on it that you’ve been carrying around for two years.

Clear ALL your windows. Your car should not resemble a snow-covered submarine.

Turn on your headlights. Even during the day. Think of it as your “please don’t hit me” beacon.

Give extra distance. If you follow at three seconds in July, make it seven (or more) in December. A full travel-sized eternity is safest.

Turn down the radio. Extremely unofficial research says every notch you lower boosts winter driving skills by 10%. (Trust us. It feels true.)
