Though, I imagine there are other cities like that too. Coming from Houston, it was refreshing. People are so ****ing lazy down south, I swear.

You guys get nice warm snow, nancies lol.We get the same temps but windy and dry as a bone. We live in insulated bibs 4 months a year.

Nw Illinois. I was half kidding, I spent a winter up there and it’s just different. We get nearly as cold here, but with more dry wind and less snow cover. Best way to describe it would be that we get 4-6 weeks in Jan-feb of god awful hell, vs your 8-10 weeks of slightly lesser hell. Lol Like Arizona’s dry heat vs Chicago in August.

The company I worked for prior to the one I work for now, has a plant in Camanche, IA, right on the river there by Clinton. I had to go in mid January, and it was indeed pretty crappy.

I live in St Paul, which is way south in MN. If you go up to Duluth, or the west side of north MN, it's pure hell haha. Snow everywhere, and its below 0 for like 6-8 weeks straight. Eff that.

places that are super cold, their residents generally have a sense of pride about it. Everyone got annoyed at me when I lived in Houston for a long time, and would wear shorts and a t-shirt when it dropped into the 30's just so I could call them all nancies. Course I do the same up here now when it gets to 94 and people act like they are going to die of heat exhaustion if they go get the mail.
