It honestly is all true except for the one crucial flaw: 🥶❄️🧊
Its the shared suffering that keeps us humble
On the contrary, that's why it's a great state; the cold builds so much character!
It'll put hair on anyone's chest!
Truly, keeps the wimps out.
Admittedly I'm am one such person, I can't tolerate the cold. Would rather be hot and sweaty
Oh, I hear ya, but I bet you'd be surprised by what you could endure on a long enough timeline (and a thicc enough jacket). Humans are surprisingly resilient when there's enough time to adapt.
Summer's my favorite season by a mile. Even Fall is hard to enjoy cause the drops in temp feel terrible at first. 65° positively brisk. But every year, across the state, Spring will start thawing and soon as we above freezing dudes bust out the shorts & tee's (usually one or other, ie: hood & shorts, jeans & tees). 50° suddenly picnic weather.
But also shhh... we kind of a sleeper state. Don't blow up my brunch joint 😂
Yeah I'm sure I'd adjust but I also know ilmy other half is pretty firmly against moving out of our area. I personally would prefer to be in Portland. (Call it what you like, I love being there. It's the vibe that suits me best). That all being said, I might swing a vacation and see your state during some nice weather.
I don’t need THAT much character, thanks.
The three seasons are Snow, Mud and Bugs, right?
There's 2 seasons. Snow and Construction
And they are not mutually exclusive.
I always naively believe I'll be able to use roads as intended once the ice and snow melt, but somehow my commute gets longer during warm seasons. Thanks construction!
As a 3x resident of Minnesota (moved for schooling with family 2 different times then moved back both times) You can always add more blankets or clothing to stay warm you can only take so many clothes off when it gets too hot. It’s a pretty great state.
Global warming will “help”. Even where I live we’ve seen a marked decline in snowfall and higher average winter temps. Just consider that even though it’s relatively colder, consider you’re not baking elsewhere.
Don't worry climate change will fix that eventually for ya! /s But lets hope Harris has a strong climate policy.
