(10,437 posts)Yes it gets really fucking cold, but you can always wear warmer clothes. This is not the stone age.
1700 snow plows in Hennepin County. How many do you have, Atlanta? Might be why 2" of the stuff shuts you down.
On the reverse side, no MN drivers, 4WD does not help you stop on ice any easier. Early winters always have more trucks/SUVs in the ditch than cars. Think about it SUVers.
Vikings/Bills Superbowl end in a tie? Who knows (I've lived in both!)?
I'm not sure that driving a large truck out onto an ice-covered lake, then lighting a fire while you fish, is something a state that high in education rankings should promote as a popular pastime.
Yes, many Minnesotans really do sound like Fargo characters whether residents see that or not. I've never lived anywhere that doesn't claim to be accent-free to a large degree. Never lived anywhere that really was.
The Twins realy are a decent baseball team, last year notwithstanding. Funny that year was the only one the coastal media empires chose to give the team any camera time apart from when they play the Yankees or Red Sox.
Bleach does NOT make fish taste good, even if you spell bleach l-y-e. I don't give a crap how long you try to "acquire" it.
Despite suffering brutal winters, the roads are the best in the Midwest, and outside the Atlantic states like VA and MD, among the best in the nation. Well done MNDoT - even if the two MN seasons really ARE winter and road construction!
Nobody who has not been there will believe or understand the humid heat that MN summers can, however briefly, achieve.
Having the second biggest local atheist organization in the nation is something to be proud of, you dour Norwegian Lutheran bastards!
Salt is not spicy. Pepper is not a "crazy-hot" food condiment.
