>>Nobody who has not been there will believe or understand the humid heat that MN summers can, however briefly, achieve.
I'm a Minnesota transplant, lived here for 20+ years. Got a buddy who's a transplant from Florida if you can believe that. Usually the other way around. Anyway, he never, ever, EVER acknowledges that it can, on occasion, get as bad heat-index wise as anywhere else. Pointed out a three day stretch last summer where the heat index was higher than in Miami at that time. He just shuts his ears and refuses to acknowledge fact. Just obsesses with bragging about how hot and muggy it gets in Florida.
