Mars is warmer than Minneapolis right now.

The coldest ever hockey game will be played here this evening. They will have to warm the ice in order to play on it.

2. Yes, but Minneapolis cound be made habitable in our lifetime.

We can't "terraform" Mars just yet. Minneapolis, maybe.

4. I've been living here for 40 years and I'm still not convinced it's habitable in January.

Spring, however, is glorious. I'm glad we have winter because it feels so good when it's over.

5. Spring is glorious if you don't get a late snowstorm. I remember the St. Patrick's Day

snowstorm in 1965. That was also the year that St. Paul went on daylight saving time earlier than Minneapolis, and some of the suburbs made their own decisions on when to switch. I remember the joke that a Twin Citizen was someone who had three feet of snow in the driveway and two feet of water in the basement, and didn't know what time it was.
