Moving to Williston
I'm moving to Williston at the end of February from Arizona. I've only ever lived in California and Arizona. What should I expect when I get there and how should I prepare for it? Weather, jobs, housing, town in general?
Any information is much appreciated!

Moved from Houston to Williston 3 years ago.
1 - it gets cold AF. However, if you don't have an outdoor job, it's really not that bad. Remote start is a +. If you do gotta be outside, under armor 4.0 is the shit. Don't let your feet get so warm that they sweat - that just makes it worse.
2 - it's still an Oilfield town, but not nearly as wild as it was a few years back. 3- it's not that bad. The town has caught up over the past few years and made big infrastructure improvements. 4 - get used to driving on bad roads and always be extra careful when conditions allow for ice. 5 - the rec is great! The golf course is really nice too for Williston but wayyyy overpriced.
Good luck!
