Kim Malcolm: Remind us of what it was like when the performing arts spaces shut down back in March of 2020.

For theater techs, it was literally one day they were hard at work, and the next thatâs it, thatâs a wrap. They turned off the lights and walked out. They set down their tools, and that was it.

Winter has left North Dakota with a final message another 3.1 inches of snow in the Bismarck-Mandan area, increasing this seasonâs snowfall to 77 inches. A slick mix of rain, sleet and snow fell across much of North Dakota, and, once again, regreased roads and slowed traffic to a white-knuckled crawl on many state highways. On the bright side, winter sports, including snowmobiles, sleds and building snowmen, are popular again, and the Huff Hills Skiing Resort can stay open another weekend.
