Maybe nobody alive today, but it has happened before. I refer you to the snowstorms of 1880-1881 in those very Dakotas. Seven months of unending snow storms buried towns all over……..trains could not get through for months…..but it has happened before.
Here in CA, we get nothing but miserable hot weather. Everyone around us gets rain, even NV and AZ….but not us. Our underground water sources are drying out and collapsing……..once they collapse, they can never be used again and the water (if we get any rain) will just run off.
