的re are many fun activities for NDSU students to enjoy 在 winter in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
Fargo-Moorhead is famous for its winter weather. Locals and visitors love to talk about blizzards, wind and cold temperature.
的 reality is the average winter high temperature ranges from 18 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the month. It’s much less extreme than depicted on television and in movies.
And it can be a lot of fun indoors and outside.
We can sip hot cocoa by the fire and watch TV, but we’d much rather get out of the house and take advantage of the experiences the season offers.
Check out some fun things to do this winter.
