That climate there in north dakota?
North Dakota's climate is typical of a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers. The state's location in the Upper Midwest allows it to experience some of the widest variety of weather in the United States, and each of the four seasons has its own distinct characteristics. The eastern half of the state has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb) with warm to hot, somewhat humid summers and cold, windy winters and the western half has a semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification BSk) with less precipitation and less humidity but similar temperature profiles. It appears that the areas east of the Missouri river get slightly colder winters, while those west of the stream get higher summer daytime temperatures. In general, the diurnal temperature difference is prone to be more significant in the west due to higher elevation and less humidity. General climatology Flooding in North Dakota in March 2010. Due to its location in the center of North America North Dakota experiences temperature extremes characteristic of a continental climate, with cold winters and mild to hot summers.[2] Each season has distinctive upper air patterns which bring different weather conditions with them. One feature of a continental climate is that weather patterns can be unpredictable. For example, an Alberta clipper, a low pressure system originating in the province of Alberta in Canada, would be a common winter occurrence in North Dakota. But with the general unpredictability of weather in a continental climate, such a storm system could occur in spring, or in late autumn.[3] Hot weather, though usually confined to June, July, and August, can sometimes begin as early as April or May, and could spill over into September.[4] Being 1,000 miles (1,609 km) from any large body of water (with the exception of Lake Superior), temperatures and precipitation in North Dakota can vary widely. North Dakota is far enough north to experience −60 °F (−51 °C) temperatures and blizzards during the winter months, but far enough south to experience 121 °F (49 °C) temperatures and tornado outbreaks in the summer.[5] The 181°F degree (100 °C) variation between North Dakota's highest and lowest temperature is the 3rd largest variation of any U.S. State, and the largest of any non-mountainous state.

What are the good and bad things about living in North Dakota?
I lived there for 32 years. I’ve been away from the area for about 10 years now, and I'm sure that some things have changed.First, the weather. Northeast North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota weather can be summed up thusly: It is the same as Siberia. I tracked the parallels for several years. In the average year, expect snow and iron hard ground by Halloween. By Christmas the temps average between 5°F and 20°F, not including wind chill. Temps are then below Zero. You can get frostbite in a minute. Later in January, temps often hover around - 30°F, not including wind chill… and there is always wind.Ice break usually happens mid to late April, but you can still find snow drifts in shadowed spots in June. There are a couple of weeks of nice weather, then the temps and humidity start to get oppressive. The first couple of weeks in October can be nice. The local papers will point out the occasional pretty tree.In common with Siberia, the insects are legion. As soon as the ground warms, the mosquitoes come out. By mid June, they will swarm in bushes near doors and under cars. Biting flies also come out in spring. They numb the area they are biting, so you can't tell until the blood starts to run, then the bites itch. The grass is crawling with ticks. There may be a couple of weeks in the spring and autumn after freeze up that are mosquito free.The land is amazingly flat. When I moved there in 1976, there were lots of tree lines. Now many of the tree lines are gone. Sometimes you can see clear to the horizon.When I left in 2008, the oil boom had only just started. Unfortunately, the socio-cultural temperament of central North Dakota has changed drastically in the last decade, not for the good. On average, North Dakotans are very nice people.On the plus side, there are beautiful views and little hidden oases by the rivers. The miles of wheat rippling in the breezes are amazing.I didn't truly realize how much the climate there impacted general life until I moved away. I know that there are many who love North Dakota, but I'm glad to be living in New Hampshire.
Why is there greater temp. extremes in North Dakota than in the state of Washington?
North Dakota has a continental climate as it is far from the sea. Washington State has a maritime climate as it is closer to the sea. Sea (water) will change temperature slower than land and therefore being close to the sea will dampen temperature extremes.
